It has been noticed that when Iago talks about sex he almost always uses imagery involving animals: "the beast with two backs", "an old black ram is tupping your white ewe." He reduces Othello and Desdemona's relationship to the coarsest level of animal sexuality. He then proceeds to persuade Othello to adopt this attitude, by making him focus exclusively on Desdemona's alleged sexual activities with Cassio. All of Desdemona's very fine character traits are forgotten in this obsession with matters sexual.
