Now things get crazy just as Shakespeare likes the end to be. During the unexciting fight between Roderigo and Cassio, Iago slips in and cuts Cassio's leg. I think this action describes Iago's behavior throughout the entire play. Iago sneaks around and blames other people for his actions. Then Othello is over there killing himself inside over killing Desdemona. Othello thinks it is righteous for him to kill Desdemona because she will just do the same thing to other men and torture their minds like his. I think Othello may have hit his head a little bit too hard during his seizure if he thinks this is a good idea. The choking begins, but Emilia starts knocking on the door. Othello responds like any other person would: "She's dead....still as the grave." Oh don't mind me, I'm just killed my wife in here, no need to knock so loud. Since Desdemona was choked to death, she easily has the breath to speak, "a guiltless death I die." Her saying this is the point where Othello begins to realize his error in believing Iago instead of his own wife.

This made me giggle. Pardon Othello's french.
