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 is Cassio reluctant to have a drink?

Cassio has no head for liquor; it doesn't take much to get him drunk. He knows it and Iago knows it too. Nevertheless Iago is able to persuade him to drink more than he ought.


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.


What information does iago use to spark roderigos interest in his plan to discredit casssio?

By suggesting it as a possibility, then discounting it. He thus forced Othello to push for some evidence proving it. By using the con artist's technique of the stall, together with his reputation of honesty, Iago makes Othello think that Iago could not have made the suggestion unless there was some reason for it, and the more Iago denies that there is such a reason, the more Othello believes it.


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.


Is Iago in Othello greedy?

No. His conniving had small benefit to him. It is true that he was able to replace Cassio as Othello's lieutenant, but almost immediately thereafter he did his level best to bring Othello (and thus his newly won position) down. There was no benefit to Iago in doing so.

How was the handkerchief able to protect the egg from breaking?

The handkerchief protected the egg from breaking through the principle of cushioning and shock absorption. The egg wrapped in the handkerchief created a layer of padding around the fragile shell. This layer absorbed and distributed the impact forces, reducing the pressure exerted on the egg during falls or impacts. As a result, the handkerchief acted as a protective barrier, preventing the direct transfer of force to the egg and decreasing the likelihood of it breaking.
