In the book shakespeare Othello does Othello kill iago?

No. Othello did not kill Iago. He killed Desdemona (he thought he did justice). Then, the truth came out. Othello charged at Iago but was stopped by others at that scene. Then Iago ran away, and Othello killed himself; died upon a kiss on Desdemona.


Why did Othello kill Desdemona?

Iago had lied to Othello and convinced him that Desdemona was secretly having sex with Cassio.


What does Othello want iago to do to cassio?

He will persuade Othello that his wife is unfaithful, thus wrecking their happy marriage, making Othello miserable, and inducing him to become a murderer.


How did Othello die?

Desdemona is killed by Othello, Iago kills Emilia (his wife) as Emilia reveals that Desdemona has been falsely accused of adultery and then Othello kills himself rather than live with what he has done. In Act V, Cassio kills Roderigo after Roderigo attempts to stab Cassio (he wants Cassio dead so that he can keep Othello and Desdemona from leaving the country, and get closer to Desdemona, whom he loves from afar). Unfortunately, instead of Roderigo's sword penetrating Cassio's flesh, he finds that Cassio has armor on, and stabs Roderigo back.


Would have Othello killed Desdemona without all of Iago's lies?

No, almost certainly not. Desdemona was a loving and true wife and would not have given Othello any reason to kill her. And Othello was basically a fair-minded man as the play shows before Iago began to spin his web of deceit. Not only that, but Othello truly loved Desdemona and under normal circumstances would not hurt her. Everyone is shocked when he strikes her in public not only because it is shocking behaviour but also because it is uncharacteristic. Without Iago it is as likely that Othello would kill Desdemona as it is that she would kill him.
