I still don’t like Iago at all. I think he lies and he manipulates everyone in this play. It’s pretty clever how he gets Cassio fired though. I will admit that it isn't nice but it is also sweet how it works out. I feel bad for Cassio that he trusts Iago and Iago is just stabbing him in the back by trying to get him fired and get Desdemona and Othello to break up. It’s nice that Othello gives the men a feast when they get to the island and all the Turks are dead because of the storm. I'm wondering if Desdemona and Othello’s relationship is going to work because of everything that is going on. If Othello doesn’t trust Desdemona then things could get ugly. But Desdemona made it pretty clear towards the end of the act that she was all for Othello and wouldn’t cheat on him. If Iago's plan did happen to work then Othello would also get mad at Desdemona and possibly cause a fight between Othello and Desdemona. It's hard to tell if Cassio actually likes Desdemona or if he is just being friendly by holding her hand and talking to her while she waits for Othello to arrive. It would certainly be interesting if Desdemona and Cassio started to have a thing. But if anyone in this story were to get with Desdemona I think it would be Iago because he would manipulate everyone to not like her anymore and he would take her from all of them.

Katilyn,
ReplyDeleteI think it's interesting that you mention that Des. seems to be dedicated to Othello--if only he trusts her. You're right in saying that they are lucky to have survived with a relationship in tact to this part. We'll see what happens.
