Othello Journal 2

It would seem that in scene one, act two of Shakespeare's Othello, Iago is starting to unveil the bulk of his plan to uproot Othello.  I might be missing part of it, but I think he plans to use Roderigo to provoke an attack from Cassio; he would then use this to put Cassio out of favor with Othello.  He then will use this rift in Othello and Cassio's relationship to make Othello think that Cassio is with Desdemona.  Meanwhile Iago himself will attempt to woo Desdemona to get back at Othello for sleeping with his wife.  Iago is shaping up to be a very interesting and manipulative antagonist.  I find his character fascinating and am looking forward to how his plan comes into reality.  Another thing I am wondering is how Roderigo will react to this.  Maybe he will find out Iago plans to court Desdemona and will turn against him.
