“Confess yourself freely to her. Importune her help to put you in your place again. She is of so free, so kind, so apt, so blessed a disposition she holds it a vice in her goodness not to do more than she is requested” (2. 3. 337-341).
Iago’s plan is getting crueler and crueler every page. What he is currently working on is getting Cassio to sleep with Desdemona. He wants to look good to everyone so he is trying to act nice to Cassio. Cassio had just been stripped of his lieutenancy by Othello and Iago advises him on how to get it back. He tells him to talk to Desdemona because she is so kind and may be willing to help. What Iago knows is that Cassio is a ladies’ man and since he has already dropped a seed about how beautiful Desdemona is, Iago is hoping that a little something more occurs between the two. That would get revenge on both Othello and Cassio because Cassio will no longer be the lieutenant and Othello’s wife will have betrayed him.
