" I should be wise; for honest is a fool and loses that is works for."(145)
Iago is trying to make Othello double think here, by telling him one thing when us as the readers all know that Iago is in this big lie. I think that Iago is feeling as though telling Othello these things will make it so he doesn't suspect that it had anything to do with Iago.
This quote can be connected through a larger theme such as power, because that is what Iago is trying to obtain in the long run. Is the power of being Othello's Lietuanant and by doing so he created this lie which ultimatly took out Cassio, but is now taking out Othello's marriage.
"If imputation and strong circumstances"(pg. 147, 463)--i.e., a charge based on circumstantional evidence.
In this scene Othello ends up making alot of threats about Desdamona, due to his rage Do you think that he will actually follow through with those threats?
Do you think that Othello will figure out that Iago is lying about everything?
