Answer to Question 1


  • At the beginning of Act I, he tells Roderigo that Othello has passed him over for promotion in favor of Roderigo. In the soliloquy that concludes Act II, Scene i, he says that he loves Desdemona () and mentions a rumor that Othello has cuckolded him. Admitting that he doesnt know if its true, he nonetheless says that he will proceed as if it is and be evened with him, wife for wife, or at the very least, make Othello think that Desdemona has been untrue to him.



Answer to Question 2


  • Like many people, especially those of less than admirable nature, Iago projects his awareness of his own nature onto humanity in general. Consequently, he sees people as willing to do anything to secure their own interests and ready to mask their true nature in pursuit of their goals. His frequent comparisons to animals stem from his view of humans as devoted to the satisfaction of their most basic urges, untroubled by any moral compunction or sensitivity to the feelings of others.
