When Roderigo grows impatient with Iago (IV, ii, 181–202), how doesIago make use of his fellow plotter’s discontent?

What will be an ideal response?



  • He tells Roderigo that Othello and



Desdemona are about to embark for Mauritania, leaving Cassio in command, but Roderigo can prevent this by killing Cassio, which would force Othello to remain in Cyprus. The death of either Roderigo or Cassio—or, optimally, both of them—would work to Iago’s benefit, as he makes clear in soliloquy at V, i, 11–22.
