Iago has been systematically conning Roderigo out of his money, saying that he is using it to try to get Desdemona to dump Othello and go for Roderigo instead. Iago knows that Desdemona will never do this, and has been simply pocketing the money. Roderigo is starting to catch on, so Iago feeds him the same line about Cassio and Desdemona having an affair and sets Roderigo on to murder Cassio. His objective is to get rid of both of them. Roderigo does stab Cassio, who Iago takes for dead, so Iago kills Roderigo himself.

Why does Iago say that he felt like stabbing Roderigo?

Iago expresses his desire to stab Roderigo out of frustration and disdain for his foolishness. He sees Roderigo as a pawn in his schemes, and his irritation grows as Roderigo's lack of understanding complicates Iago's plans. This statement reflects Iago's volatile nature and his willingness to resort to violence when others do not meet his expectations or serve his interests. Ultimately, it underscores Iago's manipulative and ruthless character.


How did Othello die?

Desdemona is killed by Othello, Iago kills Emilia (his wife) as Emilia reveals that Desdemona has been falsely accused of adultery and then Othello kills himself rather than live with what he has done. In Act V, Cassio kills Roderigo after Roderigo attempts to stab Cassio (he wants Cassio dead so that he can keep Othello and Desdemona from leaving the country, and get closer to Desdemona, whom he loves from afar). Unfortunately, instead of Roderigo's sword penetrating Cassio's flesh, he finds that Cassio has armor on, and stabs Roderigo back.


Why did iago stab emilia?
