The clown in Othello is a minor character that only appears in two scenes in Act III. His character provides comic relief in the play. Despite his small appearance, he is quite significant as he is illustrated as the only one that sees Iago as dishonest and double faced. He also plays with puns in conversations between Cassio and Desdemona.
