Iago gets Cassio drunk. Cassio does not have a head for liquor and he knows it and he tells Iago he's had enough, but Iago makes himself extremely persuasive, using the same kind of arguments people still use to make people drink more than they should. "O! they are our friends; but one cup; I'll drink for you" and "What, man! "tis a night of revels; the gallants desire it." In other words, "Don't let our friends down, just have one more, it's a party! don't be a wet blanket." Iago knows, as Cassio does, that Cassio is at the point where he will start to get drunk and quarrelsome, and will start a fight with someone, when he's supposed to be on duty.

What plot do lago and roderigo have for cassio?

Iago does the plotting alone; Roderigo is his dupe and has no more idea how he is being used than Cassio does. In Act II Scene 3 Iago makes sure both are drunk and quarrelsome and then eggs Roderigo on so Cassio will fight with him, thus ensuring Cassio's dismissal. In Act IV Scene 2 Iago lies to Roderigo, telling him that Othello is being sent to Mauretania where Roderigo will never have a chance to see Desdemona. Iago tells him that this is only possible because there is a competent replacement for Othello on hand in Cyprus in the person of Cassio. Get rid of Cassio, and Othello must stay in Cyprus. In this way Iago dupes Roderigo into trying to murder Cassio in Act V.


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.

Why does cassio get Othello's estate?

In Act II Scene 3, Iago knows that Cassio's weakness is unable to tolerate alcohol therefore he targets this weakness and persuades Cassio to drink with him. At first Cassio said no to Iago's offer because he was assigned to be on duty at night however, he ends up drinking anyways because of Iago's persistent persuasion. Iago's plan was slowly progressing. After a great amount of alcohol consumption, Cassio became drunk and went to the washroom by himself. While he was doing his business, an unknown man which was Roderigo disguised with a beard, pushed him from behind. This action angers Cassio therefore he chases the "unknown man". At the same time, Iago was talking to Montano about Cassio's drinking problem. Cassio runs into Iago and Montano, a fight occurs and Montano gets injured as Iago stabs him without anyone else noticing. The fight causes Othello to appear and strips Cassio of his rank because "he" injured Montano.


What was the result of iago's crafty explanation of cassio's fight with roderigo?

Clearly, the answer is in Act 2. Your best plan is to read/watch it. The long term consequence is probably that Cassio gets fired, although the cause-and-effect is difficult to trace.

Why does Iago say he loves Desdemona?

This is one of those things that people debate about endlessly, like whether Hamlet was really crazy. Even Iago, who talks to us a lot during the play, does not seem to be sure why he hates them so much. It could be a lot of factors, such as: 1: Iago is a chauvinist and hates anyone not born in Venice (as neither Othello or Cassio is) 2: Iago believes that he is entitled to a higher place in the army because of his background and resents Othello and Cassio who have their positions based on merit. 3: Iago believes that Cassio was not promoted on merit and resents him as a mere paper-pusher and resents Othello for promoting him. 4: Iago believes that Othello has slept with Emilia. 5: Iago is secretly in love with Desdemona and resents the fact that she seems to like both Othello and Cassio better than him. 6: Iago is secretly in love with Othello, and resents the fact that he seems to love both Cassio and Desdemona better than him. 7: Iago secretly believes that nobody loves him, because he is unlovable, and hates anyone who seems to be loved by another.
