In the play “Othello” by William Shakespeare, in Act 2 Scene 1 Iago found out Othello gave Cassio the position of lieutenant the he always want. Now Iago has a plan to plot on Cassio and Desdemona to get revenge on Cassio for taking the position he wants. Iago said “Do you find some occasion to anger Cassio, either by speaking too loud or tainting his discipline; or from what other course you please, which the time shall more favorably minister.”(othello, Act 2 sc 1) Iago was getting Roderigo to be apart of his plan on Cassio and Desdemona. He was insisting Roderigo to get Cassio mad at a important event for him fight and he could lose his spot as a lieutenant, Othello could give the position to Iago. Iago got Roderigo to be apart of the plan because he told him that Cassio would strike him and turn on him soon and he said Cassio loved Desdemona and Desdemona loved him back. Iago was talking to his self and he said “And nothing can or shall content my soul Till I am even’d with him, wife for wife, or failing so, get that I put the moor at least into a jealousy so strong that judgement cannot cure.”(Act 2, Sc 1, lines 307-311) Iago was saying that he is going to do everything to get Cassio out and Desdemona out of Othello life, so he could get the position of lieutenant. I was amaze when Iago said “For I fear Cassio with my night-cap too– Make the moor thank me, love me and reward me.”(line 316) This quote was interesting because the way he is sure that Othello is going to reward him with the position. Iago is really going to do everything in his power to get Cassio out, so he could come in and get the position of lieutenant.
