Desdemona?Īnswer – Emilia was Iago’s wife. What did Othello decide and command at the end of Scene III?Īnswer – Iago was to have Cassio killed within three days. What was Iago’s reply when Othello demanded proof of his wife’s disloyalty?Īnswer – He lied, telling Othello that Cassio had a dream in which he cried out to Desdemona, saying “Let us be wary, let us hide our loves” and “Cursed fated that gave thee to the Moor!” Then Iago told Othello that he saw Cassio with Desdemona’s handkerchief. Iago wanted to plant it in Cassio’s possession to show Othello thatĭesdemona had given it as a favor to Cassio. What thing did Emilia find and give to Iago? What did Iago intend to do with it?Īnswer – She gave him the handkerchief Desdemona had dropped, Othello’s first gift to Desdemona. Why didn’t Iago simply tell Othello right away that Desdemona and Cassio were having an affair?Īnswer – By being reluctant to tell Othello his thoughts and making Othello drag the information out of him, Iago did lend credibility to his tale and did hold Othello’s friendship. That would advance Iago’s plot to make Othello jealous beyond reason. Why did Iago want Cassio to ask Desdemona for help in restoring Othello’s faith in Cassio?Īnswer – If Desdemona would take up Cassio’s cause, it would appear as though she would favor him. Why did Othello strip Cassio of his rank?Īnswer – Through Iago’s crafty explanation of Cassio’s fight with Roderigo, Othello thought Cassio was irresponsible and dishonorable. He also casted doubt on Othello’s judgement for appointing Cassio, who might be drunk in a moment of crisis. What lie did Iago tell Montano about Cassio?Īnswer – He told Montano that Cassio was drunk every night. Why did Iago want Cassio to drink more wine?Īnswer – He wanted Cassio to be a little drunk and argumentative when Roderigo would approach him later. This will allow Roderigo a better chance of getting Desdemona, since Othello and Desdemona will have to stay longer until a replacement for Cassio can be found.Īnswer – By encouraging and using Roderigo, Iago will “put the Moor/At least into a jealousy so strong that judgement cannot cure.” Iago will ruin Othello’s relationship with Desdemona as a means of revenge for Othello’s promoting Cassio instead of himself (Iago). Why did Iago want Roderigo to anger Cassio?Īnswer – Iago told Roderigo that if he can show Cassio as being undisciplined, he can cause “these Cyprus to mutiny” and have Cassio relieved of his duty. Iago tells him to use his reason, to hold back his passion, that they should “be conjunctive in revenge against him. What was Roderigo’s complaint, and what was Iago’s reply to it?Īnswer – Roderigo was love-sick and depressed, seeing no hope for his winning Desdemona now that she is married to Othello. After listening to both sides of the story, what was the Duke’s reply?Īnswer – The Duke says he thinks Othello would win his daughter as well under the same circumstances, that Brabantio will just have to make the best of the situation. Brabantio complains to the Duke about Othello’s marriage to Desdemona. What was Brabantio’s reaction to Othello’s marriage to Desdemona?Īnswer – He was outraged at this mixed-marriage.Īnswer – “Valiant Othello, we must straight employ you/Against the general enemy in Ottoman.” Why did Iago leave Roderigo at Brabantio’s house?Īnswer – Iago didn’t want to be seen as being against Othello (even though he is). Iago and Roderigo awaken him to tell him of Desdemona’s marriage to Othello. Who was Brabantio, and why did Iago and Roderigo awaken him in the middle of the night?Īnswer – Brabantio was Desdemona’s father. Cassio got the promotion over Iago because his learning included theory and strategy whereas Iago’s did not. Cassio got the promotion to Lieutenant even though Iago had more time in service as a soldier. What was Iago’s complaint in Scene I?Īnswer – Iago has been passed over for a promotion. ![]()
