This image above helps to depict Othello’s growing suspicion and angry towards Cassio and Desdemona in the beginning of Act 3, scene 3. He knows something is wary about the two, but he doesn’t quite know what to expect. Cassio, recently stripped of his high rank as Lieutenant, has only one goal in mind, gaining back his position. He spots an opportunity to speak with Desdemona while Lago aids by distracting Othello with talk regarding the town’s fortifications. Desdemona, seeing that Cassio was just in a bad situation, displays her sympathy towards Cassio and vows to do her best in order to make Othello forgive him. However this whole situation is exactly what Lago wanted. By having Cassio and Desdemona alone, Lago can feed on Othello’s growing suspicions towards his advantage. Lago returns with Othello just in time to see Cassio sly away, an action taken the wrong way. Cassio slips away without a word due to feeling uneasy regarding the fight earlier on. However this is portrayed differently by Lago. Lago hints at Othello that the sly disappearance was actually a display of guilt on Cassio’s part: “Cassio, my lord? No, sure, I cannot think it that he would steal away so guiltylike seeing your coming”(Act3, sc3, 41-43) in response since Cassio had seen Othello was returning back home. This marks the beginning of Othello’s growing fire of jealously, perfectly lining up with Lago’s plans to destroy Othello’s relationship along with the destruction of Cassio.
