" He takes her by the palm. Ay, well said, whisper! With as little a web as this will I ensnare as great a fly as Cassio. Ay, smile upon her, do! I will gyve the in thine own courtship.- You say true; tis so, indeed!- If such tricks as these strip you out of you lieutenantry, it had been better you had not kissed your three fingers so oft- which now again you are most apt to play the sir in. Very good! Well kissed! An excellent curtsy! 'Tis so indeed. Yet again your fingers to your lips? Would they were clyster pipes for your sake! (36 2.1:165-176)
Description of Quote
This quote shows the depths of Iago's jealousy not only towards Othello but towards Cassio. Iago is deperately in love with Desdemona and becomes easily irritated by the slightest actions. This small speech forshadows two things, the first being that Desdemona is eventually going to cheat on Othello with Cassio. The second thing is that Iago will be the one who exposes this affair to Othello.
Quesion
Do you think Cassio will be the one who betrays Othello?
