Why did Othello ask Emilia about Cassio's affair with Desdemona?
He sees her as Desdemona's friend and thinks she will know the truth.
How is iago able to prove that cassio had Desdemona's handkerchief?
They overhear a conversation between Cassio and Bianca in which Bianca produces the handkerchief and demands to know why Cassio is giving her another woman's handkerchief. This proves that Cassio had the handkerchief and gave it away.
Why does lago say wished to kill roderigo?
Roderigo was becoming aware of the fact that the huge sums of money he had given Iago to help seduce Desdemona had been going directly into Iago's retirement fund. When a conman cannot blow off the mark, either he runs or arranges for him to be killed. Actually Iago wanted Cassio to kill Roderigo but he didn't quite do the job so Iago has to finish it.
What was lago's reply when Othello demanded proof of his wife's disloyalty?
He responded "How likely is it that I'll be able to show them to you actually in bed together??" As Iago well knew, this would not only be difficult but actually impossible since Desdemona and Cassio were not really having an affair. But as we know from people who believe in conspiracy theories, and Iago knew then, sometimes you can bamboozle people into believing that the fact that something is difficult to prove is in itself proof. Unfortunately it works on Othello.
How does Iago treat his wife?
Iago convinces him that his wife Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio, his lieutenant. Thus, enraging him and blinding him with jealousy. These thoughts eventually cause Othello to kill Desdemona and fill him with hatred towards Cassio.

In Othello how does Bianca get Desdemona's handkerchief?
Bianca finds the handkerchief in Cassio's bedroom.When Desdemona drops her handkerchief, her lady in waiting, Emilia, finds it and gives it to her husband, the conniving Iago, who wants it for reasons Emilia does not know.Iago plants the handkerchief in Cassio's room so it appears that Cassio and Desdemona have been sleeping with one another. The purpose of this is to upset Othello so Iago can get his revenge on Othello for not promoting him.Bianca finds the handkerchief in Cassio's room and accuses Cassio of sleeping with someone other than herself. Cassio truly does not know where the handkerchief came from and merely wishes for Bianca to copy the embroidery from the handkerchief.When Othello finds out that Cassio has possession of the handkerchief, he is incensed.

What do Iago and Roderigo hope to accomplish by shouting insulting remarks about Othello and Desdemona under Brabantio's window?
They want Desdemona's father, Brabantio, to come out and kill Othello, because they know that Desdemona and Othello are getting illegally wedded. Iago hates Othello and wants him dead because Cassio gave Othello a position in the military that Iago believed he deserved.
Why is Desdemona worried about Othello in the book Othello?
Othello is a play, so you should not think of it as a book. Go and watch it, either at a theatre or on film, if you want to understand it. Learning how to understand plays by just reading the script is like learning how to understand music by just reading a score. If you have experience you can imagine a performance; otherwise you can only understand the work by seeing or hearing it. Desdemona becomes worried by a change in behaviour in her husband. He has become suspicious and bad-tempered. She doesn't know that iago is systematically manipulating him into believing that Desdemona and Cassio are having an affair.

What is a summary of Othello?
Othello is a General that lives in Italy(Venice), but is a Moor. Traditionally that means he is black while everyone else is white. He is very respected and marries on of the leading families daughters. Iago is one of his most trusted lieutenants, but after great victories Othello decides to promote someone else. Iago then begins a scheme to get power. First he brings down his other rivals for power. Then he seeks revenge on Othello. To do so he starts scandals almost on a whim and makes everyone distrust one another. Including Othello and his wife. Side note: Othello has epilepsy and no one must know or they will think him weak or possesed. Iago forces Othello to smother his wife and all of his rivals to die, yet in the end He loses his own life in his web of lies. One of the most Ironic things about Othello is Iago the most wicked liar coins the term (I wear my heart upon my sleeve.) Meaning he does not decieve. Iago makes the top ten most evil fictional villains ever.
How do you xxplain why Iago is upset with Roderigo?
Guidance. Roderigo would like to get Desdemona's attention, but is too thick to figure out how to go about it, or to know when his cause is lost. Iago is full of ideas and advice which Roderigo wants to rely on.
Did Michael Jackson and Chuck Norris know each other?
No they didn't know each other.
