Othello Act IV (part 1)

It appears things start to really work out for Iago in Act IV of Shakespeare's Othello. Iago decides to provide his "proof" to Othello by getting Cassio to confess about the affair. Of course, they are actually talking about Bianca. They have a few laughs, Othello gets more mad than Liam Neeson in Taken, and then Bianca shows up with the handkerchief. Bianca barges in and gives Iago a whole lot of help by whipping out Desdemona's handkerchief and saying, "This is some minx's token, and I must take out the work?" Inside, Iago is probably celebrating more than New Orleans did on Mardis Gras. This visual proof of the affair makes Othello's blood boil. I find it interesting that the first thing to come out of his mouth is about killing Cassio. I think this really shows Othello's love for Desdemona (of course he still wants to kill her too). I have no clue why Othello would buy into Iago's plan of strangling Desdemona. Let's see, go with a plan like poisoning her where you can get away with it, or strangle her and everyone knows Othello did it? I guess Othello is so enraged and thinks Iago's advice is rational. This scene is the epitome of Iago's ability to manipulate people. Iago gets Cassio to "confess" and then Iago convinces Othello to strangle his own wife. That takes some skill.
