In this scene, aside from how much we have already learned of Iago, we also get a sense of how little he thinks of women. “You are pictures out the door, bells in your parlors, wildcats in your kitchen, saints in your injuries, devils being offended, players in your housewifery, and huswives in your beds” (Act II.1 122-125) ) He sort of insinuates that women sort of always have something to hide, that they act like saints but theres a second face to them, deceptive almost. He’s also done this sort of commentary in Act I when he compared Cassio to being as knowledgeable as women who sow for a living. He continues by also saying that women “rise to play, and go to bed to work,” basically stating that sleeping in bed with men is all women are good for (Act II.1 128). If you compare Iago to all the other men in this play, it’s easy to notice and infer that not all men in this era were like this. Othello and Cassio respect women and although they might not see them as their equals, they care and respect them and not degrade them. Aside from noticing Iago’s perspective on women, in this Act we start to get an insight on what Iago plans to do to gain revenge. This is where the plotting takes place where Iago insinuates that Cassio and Desdemona are having an affair. It’s easy for him to elaborate this scheme when Cassio plays the part so well (because he is an uttermost gentleman). “With as little a web as this i will ensnare as great a fly as Cassio,” basically he’s saying how he’s going to trap Cassio in his plan. Iago is the Spider spinning his web getting ready to catch his fly (Cassio) in his great big scheme. I truly think this is a great use of a simile that Shakespeare captured because  we’re able to truly imagine what’s going on in the play.
