Is it true or false that when Othello demanded proof of his wife's disloyalty Iago said let us hide and ourselves behold the cursed fate of star-crossed lovers?

False. The expression "star-crossed lovers" is from Romeo and Juliet. Iago actually said, "How satisfied, my lord? Would you, the supervisor, grossly gape on- Behold her topp'd?" which is much coarser and less elegantly put but more to the point: Does Othello expect to actually catch Cassio in bed with Desdemona?

What was lago's reply when Othello demanded proof of his wife's disloyalty?
He responded "How likely is it that I'll be able to show them to you actually in bed together??" As Iago well knew, this would not only be difficult but actually impossible since Desdemona and Cassio were not really having an affair. But as we know from people who believe in conspiracy theories, and Iago knew then, sometimes you can bamboozle people into believing that the fact that something is difficult to prove is in itself proof. Unfortunately it works on Othello.
