What was the purpose of Iago's plan in act two?
To take away Desdemona from Othello
Where in Othello is the line i am not what i am?
In the beginning of the play, in Act 1, Scene 1.. you can find this quote. It is near the beginning (I can't really give you a line number since all the editions are different). Iago says this line to Roderigo in a long paragraph starting with "O, sir, content you"... then by the end of the paragraph, he states : "The native act and figure of my heart In compliment extern, 'tis not long after But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve For daws to peck at: I am not what I am" (I.i, Othello). Good luck! This is such a great and important line in characterizing Iago and the tragic villain!
What was Iago's complaint in Scene 1?
Iago believed that Othello slept with his wife, Emilia. He states in Act 1, scene 1. "I hate the moor, and its thought abroad that twixt my sheets he has done my office" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iago's becomes enraged because Othello has selected another officer, Cassio, to be his lieutenant, and Iago also believed that Othello slept with his wife, Emilia.
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.
