Why did Iago want Roderigo to anger Cassio?

Iago's plan is to make Cassio drunk and get him into a brawl that will ruin Cassio's reputation and cause him to lose his position. He urges Roderigo to provoke Cassio "to put our Cassio in some action/ that may offend the isle." As usual,Roderigo is duped by Iago's manipulative words and agrees to do this, even though all he ends up with is a sound beating from Cassio. Iago, however, succeeds in getting Cassio dismissed from his lieutenancy to Othello, which plays in toIago's master plan to ruin Othello.


Which characters in Othello make an issue of Othellos race?

Iago, Brabantio and Roderigo. Nobody else seems to care. And probably Brabantio is the most intolerant--he will have Othello over to supper but he wouldn't want him to marry his daughter. Roderigo wouldn't care except that they are rivals for Desdemona and Roderigo will throw any dirt that might possibly stick at Othello. Iago's position is mysterious, but whatever his motive for disliking Othello (and who knows, race might be a part of that), he is sure prepared to make an issue of Othello's race around the racist Brabantio.


What is ironic in Othello's comments about Iago?

How does shakespeare get the audience's attention immediately in the opening scene?

Shakespeare begins Othello with a technique known as in medias res. This means that he begins in the middle of the action, forcing the audience to pay attention and try to figure out what is going on. Not only does this cause mild confusion, but curiosity in the play as well. Though the action in 1.1 is not of critical importance, it serves to create interest. - IQ4U -
