Othello said that Iago is such a loyal friend to Cassio that Iago told about the fight in a way that looked better on Cassio. Even so, Othello fires Cassio and understands that Iago did what any friend would do.

Francis Meres said (in 1598) that he wrote a play called Love's Labour's Won. There is also a stationer's entry for a late play called Cardenio. Neither of these plays has survived.
It is actually from Shakespeare's play Othello. It is said by Iago to Othello and describes how jealously can consume a person by personifying jealousy. It was a also the first time green eyes were associated with jealousy and gave us the famous saying "green-eyed monster".
Iago wanted to make Othello jealous of Cassio. Had he simply said "Cassio is having an affair with your wife", Othello could have dismissed it as a lie or a mistake. But by saying "I'm sure there is nothing going on between Cassio and your wife" Iago gets Othello to suspect Desdemona and to build up his suspicions on his own.
