At the beginning of the play, they make a lot of noise under Brabantio's window, and when they get his attention, they make scurrilous accusations against Othello, that he has ravished Desdemona.

How do Roderigo and lago stir up trouble in Othello?

In Shakespeare's "Othello," Roderigo and Iago conspire to create chaos by exploiting Othello's insecurities and manipulating the emotions of those around them. Roderigo, in love with Desdemona, is easily led by Iago, who uses Roderigo's feelings to provoke Othello and create jealousy. Iago cleverly plants misinformation and sows distrust between Othello and his wife, ultimately leading to tragic consequences. Their actions intensify the play's themes of manipulation and betrayal, driving the plot toward its tragic climax.


How does Brabantio attitude toward Roderigo change?

Brabantio is wakened by Iago and Roderigo making a lot of noise in the street. He sees Roderigo, who identifies himself, but does not see Iago, who is making foul-mouthed suggestions like "an old black ram is tupping your white ewe." Roderigo has been courting Desdemona and although Brabantio has turned him out of the house he keeps on hanging around like a stalker. Brabantio doesn't like him already and likes him less for waking him up with scurrilous suggestions. This all changes when Brabantio finds out that his daughter has in fact disappeared. Then he turns to Roderigo for help in finding her, which Roderigo is happy to supply. By the end of the scene, he is "good Roderigo" to Brabantio.


What if cassio had died and roderigo had lived?

Roderigo attacked Cassio but did not kill him. Iago had intended that Roderigo would kill Cassio and then Iago would kill Roderigo. In the scenario you are suggesting, Roderigo is a much more successful fighter than we thought and manages to kill both Cassio and Iago. He would then no doubt have been charged with killing them and might offer in his defence how Iago had conned him out of all his money. Emilia would be able to tell her story and live and it would certainly corroborate what Roderigo would say. Unfortunately none of this would come in time to save Othello or Desdemona, who would both end up dead in any event. Since Cassio is dead, someone else would have to be governor of Cyprus.


Why did Iago want Roderigo to anger Cassio?

Iago's plan is to make Cassio drunk and get him into a brawl that will ruin Cassio's reputation and cause him to lose his position. He urges Roderigo to provoke Cassio "to put our Cassio in some action/ that may offend the isle." As usual,Roderigo is duped by Iago's manipulative words and agrees to do this, even though all he ends up with is a sound beating from Cassio. Iago, however, succeeds in getting Cassio dismissed from his lieutenancy to Othello, which plays in toIago's master plan to ruin Othello.


What trouble does iago stir up to disturb the peace of the island?

Iago stirs up trouble on the island by manipulating Othello into believing that his wife, Desdemona, is unfaithful to him with Cassio. He exploits Othello's insecurities and uses deception, such as planting the handkerchief as false evidence of infidelity. Iago's schemes create jealousy and mistrust, ultimately leading to tragic consequences and the unraveling of relationships among the characters. His actions disrupt the peace and harmony of the community, showcasing the destructive power of manipulation and betrayal.
