Act 4, Scene 2, Roderigo

" {Faith,} I have heard too much, and your words and performances are no kin together." (4.2.213-214)

I believe that Roderigo feels betrayed, he know longer trusts Iago to some extent. He thinks that giving Iago his jewels to give to Desdamona so that he will like him more or what not has failed, because Desdamona has not really changed her feelings or said anything towards Roderigo to make her like him more. And he is starting to realize that Iago has no clue what he is doing. I mean he just made Roderigo give up his jewels which is all he pretty much has wealth wise and Iago's plan never followed through. So Roderigo is figuring out that maybe listening to Iago is not such a great idea.

This quote can be connected through a larger theme because everyone is falling under Iago's manipulation and decite. And the one person and that is even thinking about second guessing Iago's intellegence/wrongful plans is Roderigo. I believe that he out of all the characters in this book is the one that can save everyone...If only he can figure it out and stop it in time before anything too bad occurs.

Fopped(4.2.226)-meaning cheated or decieved.

Out of all people who do you think has more of a chance of saving everyone or most everyone from Iago's manipulation?

Do you think that Roderigo will follow through with killing Desdamona? Why or Why not?
