At the start of Act IV in Shakespeare's "Othello," the titular character is not physically ill in the traditional sense, but he is experiencing intense emotional turmoil and psychological distress. His mind is plagued by jealousy and doubt regarding Desdemona's fidelity, which manifests in a state of agitation and emotional instability. This mental anguish can be seen as a form of illness, as it profoundly affects his behavior and judgment throughout the play.

How was Desdemona faithful to Othello till the end?
Never. She is not only never unfaithful to him in the sexual sense, but she does not blame him or start to hate him even when, due to the jealousy Iago has raised in him, he insults her and strikes her in public. Even then she remains true to him.
Why is jealousy important in Othello the play?
Jealousy is the reason for all the misery in the story. The characters Roderigo and Iago, who are jealous of Othello and Cassio, start the whole chain of events that eventually leads to the death of almost every character. In short, without jealousy, the series of tragedies that occured would not have happened.
What is Othellos tragic flaw?
Othello's tragic flaw would most likely be his jealousy. This was brought on by simple persuasion by the character Iago. Even though Iago used extreme manipulation to get Othello to be jealous, Iago did not really have to try very hard to get Othello in a jealous state of mind. Othello was blinded by his jealousy which led him down a path of constant questioning of his wife and his friend/officer, Cassio. Throughout the play we see Othello sink deeper and deeper into a cloud of doubt which eventually leads him to kill not only his wife but also himself. So it can be said that Othello's jealousy and inability to see past it remains the reason for his downfall. An alternative interpretation, which if memory serves me was first suggested by James Joyce, is that Othello's tragic flaw was loss of faith in life, and not jealousy. Othello was clearly not a jealous man, as evidenced by the difficulty Iago had in convincing him of Desdemona's unfaithfulness - something Othello would never have dreamed of. The tragedy was that he allowed lies to undermine his faith in life - his entire world view. In doing so, he destroyed that which he loved most.
In othelllo Why should Roderigo pay particular attention to Iago's speech in the start?
Roderigo should pay particular attention to Iago's speech at the start of Othello because it reveals Iago's duplicitous nature and his manipulative intentions. Iago's articulate expressions of loyalty to Othello, juxtaposed with his disdain for him, foreshadow his treachery. Moreover, Iago's ability to exploit Roderigo's desires for Desdemona highlights the danger of being influenced by someone who is deceitful and self-serving. Ignoring Iago's words could lead Roderigo deeper into Iago's schemes and further away from his own interests.
