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.
Roderigo is upset with Iago because he feels that Iago has led him to believe that he would have a chance with Desdemona, only to see her now dining with Othello. He is frustrated by Iago's manipulation and the lack of progress in his pursuit of Desdemona, feeling increasingly disillusioned with Iago's promises and schemes. Roderigo's growing impatience and anger highlight his vulnerability and desperation in love, as he relies on Iago's deceitful guidance.
Iago has been systematically conning Roderigo out of his money, saying that he is using it to try to get Desdemona to dump Othello and go for Roderigo instead. Iago knows that Desdemona will never do this, and has been simply pocketing the money. Roderigo is starting to catch on, so Iago feeds him the same line about Cassio and Desdemona having an affair and sets Roderigo on to murder Cassio. His objective is to get rid of both of them. Roderigo does stab Cassio, who Iago takes for dead, so Iago kills Roderigo himself.
Roderigo and Iago have several long conversations in which Iago responds to Roderigo many times. The question needs to be more specific.
Iago.
Roderigo.

Iago.
Roderigo.
Iago would get to keep the gifts Roderigo had sent to Desdemona that he had stolen
Why does Iago say that he felt like stabbing Roderigo?
Iago convinces Roderigo not to return to Venice because he wants to manipulate Roderigo for his own gain. By keeping Roderigo in Cyprus, Iago can exploit his infatuation with Desdemona and use him to further his schemes against Othello. Iago promises Roderigo that he can win Desdemona's affection, thus ensuring Roderigo remains invested in Iago's plans and under his control. This manipulation serves Iago’s broader agenda of revenge and deceit.
Yes, Iago exploits Roderigo's impatience and discontent to further his own schemes. He manipulates Roderigo's emotions, convincing him that he can win Desdemona's affection by taking certain actions, thereby deepening Roderigo’s involvement in Iago's plot against Othello. This manipulation not only serves Iago’s interests but also keeps Roderigo distracted and compliant.
Iago hated Cassio because he was promoted to lieutenant instead of Iago. This was his motive for getting him dismissed, for persuading Othello to hate him, and for trying to kill him. Iago was using Roderigo as a source of money, but Roderigo was beginning to realize that he was Iago's dupe, and was becoming dangerous to Iago--hence he had to be killed.
During the brawl, Iago kills Roderigo.
Roderigo pays Iago large sums of money to help Roderigo's attempt to woo Desdemona. Iago just pockets the money because not only is Desdemona totally committed to Othello, but could never be interested in a twit like Roderigo.
