"Death and damnation! Oh!"
(Othello, III. iii. 398)
Wow. He's pretty worked up. I suppose I would be too if my bff decided to be a liar and make me think my spouse was sleeping around. That being said, I think Othello is pretty quick to jump the gun. Let's look at the facts:
Desdemona compliments Cassio (I complemented my aunts sweet potatoes once; love may be blind, but it can still taste.)
Cassio got drunk. (So what if he went a little nuts with some alcohol! He wears tights on a daily basis, what do you expect?)
Iago is your best friend. (You must be a real sucker for foney flattery.)
Desdemona drops her snot-covered Kleenex. (really, Othello? That's sick.)
Clearly, Othello's mentally unstable. I'm glad I'm not married to him! God forbid I converse with someone not on my imediate family tree!
Oh, Moors these days!

We'll see some drama! You don't want no drama drama!
"First, I must tell thee this. Desdemona is directly in love with him (Cassio)."
(Iago, II. i. 211-212)
Oh. SHOOT! I totes knew there was going to be something going on with Iago, Roderigo, Cassio and Desdemona! What does this feel like, you might ask? It feels like I'm back in middle school and on girl told some other girl that this guy who was dating her best friend thought that her hair looked cute, so her best friend hated her guts but didn't want to tell her because they're best friends. That's just kinda what it feels like to me. Othello seems like a great guy who unfortunately is very trusting of his friends. Cassio, in an attempt to be a good guy, holds Desdemona's hand while she waits to hear if her husband is at the bottom of the sea. Iago, being a brat, blows everything out of proportion, thus making the slightly think-skulled Othello spaz. Sheesh! Isn't there ever a story without juvenile drama? I feel like I'm reading a soap opera. That being said, I'm actually getting into this story! I only read a summary once, and it was after I read the real text(insert brown-nosed pat on the back)! Like I said before, I think some stuff's gonna go nuts in a bit, I'm guessing Act IV. My guess: Rodergio kills Othello, Iago marries Desdemona, and Cassio's just standing in the back ground.

Othello! Bless you.
That wasn't funny.
Anywho: "Zounds, sir, you're robbed. For shame, put on your gown,
Your heart is burst, you have lost half you soul."
(Iago, I. i. 86-87)
You know what I think? I'll tell you what I think! Iago's a racist, judgemental, naive, cunning, back-stabbing tike that's going to turn what could be a charming romance into a tragedy. I'm just throwing that out there. Why I say this is as follows:
He's racist (if he's not, calling Othello the devil sure is a strange way of showing his love for black people).
He treats his wife like Paris Hilton's chihuahua: play with it in public but really think it's annoying.
Lastly, he's clearly a skeeming man with an evil plot that I have yet to see the full details on.
I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled on Mr. I'll-talk-in-prose-even-though-no-one-else-is because I've just got this little hunch that he's going to be a big deal.
