Why does Iago carefully observe the way Cassio greet Desdemona?
Iago realizes that Cassio greets Desdemona romantically, and with a kiss on the cheek. Supposably that's how you greet the women politely.
How does Iago cast aside suspicion of his own part in the plot to kill Cassio?
Othello was just out of earshot when Iago talks to Cassio. He has told Othello that he is talking to Cassio about Desdemona but he is really talking about the woman that Cassio is really having an affair with, Bianca. In 'Othello' Iago tricks Othello by planting Desdemona's handkerchief in Cassio's room.
Who does Iago tell Cassio to confer with about finding forgiveness from Othello after his brawl in the street?
Desdemona. Iago says that Desdemona is the most influential person with Othello, so Cassio should get her to plead on his behalf. This sounds reasonable, except that Iago has suggested that Cassio and Desdemona are having an affair, and this will heighten Othello's suspicions.
Why did iago want cassio to ask Desdemona for help in restoring Othello's faith in cassio?
If Desdemona asked a favour on Cassio's behalf, it would look to Othello like she was doing it out of an improper love for Cassio. The harder she argues, the more suspicious it seems to Othello.
What convinces Othello that cassio is talking about Desdemona when cassio is laughing as iago asks him about the girl he is seeing?
Primarily the fact that Iago has suggested to him that that is what is being talked about. By this point, Iago has got Othello into such a state he cannot interpret anything Cassio or Desdemona does as being innocent.
Circumstances set for Othello by Iago combine to defeat Othello?
Iago sets out to trap Othello by several means. He persuades Desdemona to plead for Cassio and persuades Othello that Desdemona pleading for Cassio proves she is in love with him. He steals the handkerchief, persuades Othello that she has given it away to Cassio, then gives it to Cassio himself. He gets lucky as Cassio gives it to Bianca and she returns it in Othello's sight. He talks to Cassio about Bianca, telling Othello who can see (but not hear) that he is talking about Desdemona. All of this circumstantial evidence bolsters the outright lies that Iago tells about Cassio admitting to having an affair with Desdemona.
OTHELLO what gestures of respect does Cassio show Desdemona that Iago says he can later use against cassio?
Cassio kisses Desdemona's hand. Iago says, " He takes her by the palm: ay, well said, whisper. With as little a web as this will I ensnare as great a fly as Cassio."
How would iago gain from cassio's death?
It would make it seem that Iago did his part in the plan, where Iago kills Cassio and Othello kills Desdemona. Even though Iago got Roderigo to do it for him.
