"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.
