How Does Othello Convince Desdemona In Act 4

She says that because Desdemona lost it, Othello will believe that she is no longer loves him but loves someone else, as humans are jealous creatures. This conflict plays a part in her untimely death. As she lost the handkerchief and Iago planted it in Cassio’s room, Iago uses that as unrecruitable proof of an affair, which Othello accepts. This thickens the plot, and causes Othello to smother Desdemona with a

After publicly sharing their love and deep devotion for each other, Othello goes to prove his fixed mindset as he succumbs to the lies told by his trusted friend Iago that his wife Desdemona was cheating on him, which causes him to fall into the realm of self doubt. Throughout Act 3 scene 2 of the play, it is here where Desdemona vows to do what she can to convince Othello to appoint Cassio back to his position as lieutenant. Though Iago takes this opportunity to introduce the idea that Desdemona is cheating on Othello with Cassio which is the reason that she is so fixed on convincing him to have Cassio as his lieutenant once more. When left alone in his chambers to think of the astonishing news Othello remarks to himself, “ This fellow exceeding honesty,/And knows all qualities, with a learned spirit/Of human dealings. If I do prove her haggard,/Though that her jesses were my dear heartstrings,/I’d whistle her off and let her down the wind to prey at fortune. Haply for I am black/And have not those soft parts of conversation that chamberers have, or for I am declined…” ( Act

Secondly, Iago’s use of imagery creates such a lucid picture that makes it hard to believe that it is anything but true. Iago tells of how he slept with Cassio and how Cassio, “gripe an ring my hand, Cry O sweet creature [Desdemona]! Then kiss me hard As if he plucked up kisses by the roots…” This very visual tale makes it hard for Othello to think of anything other than that Desdemona and Cassio are together. It clearly shows that Iago was witnessing an account that Othello believes is true even though Iago later states that it was only a dream; the visual picture is their. Othello believes this is substantial evidence to accuse Desdemona of being with Cassio.

Entering Argentine market in 1993-1994 was a good strategic decision for Continental as one of the TOP5 cable TV companies in the US despite certain risks for several reasons:

Cassio had liked Desdemona in the past and he Iago knew that he could use this against both Desdemona and Cassio. By getting Cassio in trouble and watching him lose his position in the military, Iago knew this would bring Cassio and Desdemona closer. Desdemona did not know this plan. She knew that her Cassio had lost his position and that she wanted to help him convince Othello to give him his title back. This meeting between the two characters was also used against them. This meeting between friends then turned into accusations that Cassio was with Desdemona. Iago later goes and plants this lie in Othello's ear. Desdemona is still unaware of what is going on. Desdemona will later know that Othello will eventually kill her and she accepts this. Only moments before Othello kills Desdemona does she know what she is being accused of. “And yet I fear you; for you are fatal then When your eyes roll so: why I should fear I know not, since guiltiness I know not; but yet I feel I fear.” (Othello Act V Scene II Page 82). She knows that Othello is accusing her of something but, she has no idea what it

Iago's interpretation of Cassio's exit, combined with Desdemona's vigorous support on Cassio's behalf, creates suspicion in Othello's mind even before Iago prompts him. Othello manifests his confusion

While discussing a plan to get Cassio on Othello's good side, Iago says, “Piles Desdemona to repair his fortune, and she for him pleads strongly to the Moor, I’ll pour this pestilence into his ear: That she repeals him for her body's lust; And by how much she strives to do him good, she shall undo her credit with the Moor” (II.iii.374-379). This shows that due to Desdemona always acting as a peacemaker, Iago chose her to get into Othello's mind. Due to the problems between Cassio and Othello, Iago wants Desdemona to talk to her husband, to create peace between Othello and Cassio. With her kind nature, she believes she is reconciling differences, which is the exact opposite of what Iago is putting in Othello's

     Iago told Othello that he would discuss Desdemona with Cassio, and that he would talk about the affair. Iago does not do this, and instead he talks about Bianca with Cassio, and Cassio laughs at things Iago says. Othello sees Cassio laughing and just assumes he is laughing at Desdemona, which in return upsets him very much. Iago used several tactics to set up Othello for deception in this case.

Now that Michael Cassio is in distraught, he has no one to turn to, but Desdemona, Othello’s wife. Iago’s ultimate destruction is put into full motion. Michael Cassio and Desdemona spend a lot of secretive time together trying to figure out how to convince Othello to reinstate Cassio’s lieutenant position. The only person that knows their time together is Iago, since he is considered a trustworthy friend. This makes Iago’s plan

Othello is an easy target in this drama, because Iago already knows that he is a very insecure person. With that stated, it will be easy for Iago to use Othello’s jealousy to trick him into thinking that Desdemona is an unfaithful wife. Iago will manipulate the way Othello sees things in order to convince him that what he sees is innocent acts between Desdemona and Casillo. Iago’s starts to plant the idea in Othello’s head of an affair after Othello sees Casillo rush leaving Desdemona in a manner that looked as though he is guilty (1223). Alone with Othello, Iago begins to make Othello feel threatened by Casillo and Desdemona’s apparent relationship by bringing up the fact that Casillo served as Desdemona’s and Othello’s go-between during the time of their courtship. The conversation ends with Iago asking Othello to watch carefully of Desdemona and Casillo, and Iago exits giving Othello time to question the accusation of Iago (1225-1228).

From the moment Desdemona steps off the ship, we see not only her relationship with Othello unfold, but her relationships with Iago and Cassio as well. It is clear that Iago is setting Cassio and Desdemona up, but not once does Shakespeare conclude that they are not having

Iago once sees Cassio holding Desdemona's hand while talking to her, so he decides to convince Othello that his wife cheats on him. Iago's wife, Emilia, is Desdemona's attendant, which makes Iago make use of this as well. Iago tells Othello that he has heard Cassio call out Desdemona's name in his sleep, and he suspects Desdemona and Cassio to be in love. This makes Othello get anxious about losing his wife's love for him; he says: "She's gone.

“Othello should have trusted Desdemona, for she didn't sleep with Cassio.” (William). Othello starts to believe all of Iago's lies throughout the play. He starts doubting, “Damn her, lewd minx! O, damn her!/ Come, go with me apart; I will withdraw,/To furnish me with some swift means of death / “For the fair devil”...

Iago’s line after Cassio’s exit which is shown above presents Desdemona and Cassio as two characters that have something to hide from Othello. Desdemona is presented as a victim at this point. This is because Iago has embedded a sense of doubt in Othello’s mind about Desdemona. Having said this, Desdemona partly contributed towards her victimisation by promising to talk about Cassio to Othello and doing just that. Desdemona says the line “to suffer with him”. By “him” she is referring to her friend in need Cassio. For Desdemona to say the word “suffer” to Othello in relation to Cassio’s sadness indicates a strong sense of passion which holds them together. This could make the audience feel uneasy for Desdemona because her lines are building more tension. This is also dramatic irony because Desdemona is unaware of the trouble her constant mention of Iago is doing to Othello. One of the things that make up a tragic victim is loss. The character Desdemona losses her handkerchief.

The episode of Otello’s demanding of the handkerchief to Desdemona has a major impact in the development of the play. Also, this episode points out the naivety of the young lady and the power of
