roderigo is jealous of othello because desdemona has chosen othello asher suiter despite the overwhelming offers roderigo has made and the racial difference in othello, which at that time would be considered taboo. so desdemona would rather go against society with othello than be with roderigo.
He's just heard the news that Desdemona, the girl he wants to marry, has just eloped with Othello. Not that Roderigo ever had a chance with Desdemona anyway--she hates him and her father hates him--but that isn't going to stop Iago from continually giving him hope, so Iago can find new ways of cheating him.
Roderigo wants to marry Desdemona, so he dislikes Othello who has married her instead. Iago dislikes Othello because he has promoted Cassio to lieutenant rather than Iago and also because, for some reason, Iago thinks Othello slept with Iago's wife Emilia.
roderigo is jealous of othello's marriage to desdemona
Roderigo is annoyed with Iago because Iago promised him he would get him with Desdemona as long as Roderigo payed Iago which Iago didn't give the gifts he was supposed to buy to Desdemona
Roderigo wanted to marry Desdemona (although neither she nor her father were much interested in his suit) and Othello made this impossible by marrying her himself.
It's hard to say exactly. He appears to resent that Othello, like Cassio, has won his job on merit, not seniority. He claims to suspect that Othello has slept with his wife.
Roderigo is hoping to gain Brabantio's favour so Brabantio will support Roderigo's bid to marry Desdemona. Unfortunately for him, 1) Brabantio doesn't like him, 2) Desdemona doesn't like him, and 3) Desdemona is already married to Othello.
well i know that this takes place after Othello, the Duke and Brabantio discuss the marrage between Desdemona and Othello, right after everyone in the room had left all except for Roderigo and Iago and In case anyone else didn't know this novel is really a play written by William Shakesphere
Othello is plain-speaking, honest, and forthright.
In the beginning of the play, in Act 1, Scene 1.. you can find this quote. It is near the beginning (I can't really give you a line number since all the editions are different). Iago says this line to Roderigo in a long paragraph starting with "O, sir, content you"... then by the end of the paragraph, he states : "The native act and figure of my heart In compliment extern, 'tis not long after But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve For daws to peck at: I am not what I am" (I.i, Othello). Good luck! This is such a great and important line in characterizing Iago and the tragic villain!
The story takes place in Venice and in Cyprus.

"an old black ram / Is tupping your white ewe" Act 1, Scene 1
he doesnt care about whats goin on
This quotation is from Act 1 Scene 1 of Othello.
He is ordered to go to the duke.
One paradox in Act 2, Scene 1 of Othello is when Iago says, "I am not what I am." This statement is paradoxical because Iago is known to be deceitful and manipulative, so his claim that he is not what he appears to be creates a sense of irony and doublespeak.
