Who is the black man in William Shakespeare's play?

Iago


Who is the man who helps Iago follow through with his evil plan?

His name's Roderigo.


Why is Othello gullible and easily fooled?

He is not. Every other character in the play, without exception, considers Iago to be honest and trustworthy. Cassio lets Iago trick him into drinking more than he should, and then immediately trusts him again when Iago tells him to go to Desdemona. Is he gullible and easily fooled? Roderigo is conned again and again out of his money by Iago for a purpose anyone could tell was a waste of time. Again and again Roderigo is taken in by Iago. Iago even fools his wife (who by this point ought to know better) in the matter of the handkerchief. Emilia does not think it suspicious enough to tell Desdemona, unfortunately. As for Othello, Iago knows that Othello cannot be easily fooled. If Othello were so foolish, Iago could have told him his wife was unfaithful, and he would have believed it. No, instead, Iago only plants the idea in Othello's mind, saying all along that he doesn't believe it. He plays on Othello's humility, his concern that a man of his age, background and race could have few attractions for a girl like Desdemona. And so Othello starts to wonder, to doubt, to worry, not because he is gullible but because he is humble. But he doesn't right off believe it. He's not Claudio from Much Ado. "Give me the ocular proof!" he demands. Are these the words of a gullible man? Iago is a very skillful psychological manipulator. Nobody is immune to his techniques. Nobody. Othello is not a gullible man. Iago is an evil genius.

How does Iago plot to have cassio demoted in act 2?

Iago gets Cassio drunk. Cassio does not have a head for liquor and he knows it and he tells Iago he's had enough, but Iago makes himself extremely persuasive, using the same kind of arguments people still use to make people drink more than they should. "O! they are our friends; but one cup; I'll drink for you" and "What, man! "tis a night of revels; the gallants desire it." In other words, "Don't let our friends down, just have one more, it's a party! don't be a wet blanket." Iago knows, as Cassio does, that Cassio is at the point where he will start to get drunk and quarrelsome, and will start a fight with someone, when he's supposed to be on duty.
