Othello Act 2 Scene 1

Quote: "He takes her by the palm. Ay, well said, whisper! With as little a web as this will I ensnare as great a fly as Cassio. Ay, smile upon her, do, I will gyve thee in thine own courtship. You say true, 'Tis so, indeed. If such tricks as these strip you out of your lieutenantry."(2.1.166-170)

Significance: This quote is significant because it is showing us how conniving Iago and naive Roderigo are. Iago is still using his evil plan and being very backstabbing. I do still believe that this is foreshadowing something that is going to happen and it is going to be very bad. There is going to be a lot of backstabbing and lying in this play just by the way Iago is. If he is planning something to upset Cassio and Othello there is going to be more lying and backstabbing and maybe some fights.

Question: Will Iago's plan back fire in his face?
