Ali
Literal meaning
1.1a) Iago has hatred towards Cassio because Cassio was chosen over Iago by Othello to be the post lieutenant despite the experience that Iago had from previous battles. Casio has no experience and he was still chosen over Iago. Iago is very surprised and upset because he was supposed to get the job no matter what. Iago is going to pay back Othello for his poor decision
b) The reason Iago has for betraying Othello is the fact that he didn’t get the job he was sure to get and instead someone with less experience was given the job. He also knows that’s Othello is married to Desdemona, Brabanzio daughter. He’s ready to destroy their love for revenge on the way Othello betrayed him.
c) Brabantio is Desdemona’s father who is a Venetian senator. Iago and Rodrigo tell him that his lieutenant has married his daughter behind his back. He wants to ruin Othello for what he did to him.
d) Rodrigo is in love with Branbantio’s daughter, Desdemona. She is secretly married to Othello.
Quotes
a) Iago is speaking the first quote. He is telling Rodrigo that no matter what has happened he still respects Othello, but secretly he’s out to get him. He’s using Rodrigo to do his dirty work while he stands in the distance. Rodrigo isn’t very smart and doesn’t realise what Iago’s real plan is.
b) Iago is speaking the second quote. He’s explaining that once he gets Othello caught with Desdemona he’ll be able to prove his true self to everyone and Brabantio. He’ll be able to prove his loyalty to Brabantio.
c) Brabantio speaks the third quote. He’s frustrated that Iago and Rodrigo would come and disturb him in the middle of the night with their nonsense. He trust his daughter very much and would never think that’s she would be fooling around with Othello. Othello is a black man and he would not be acceptable for Desdemona. Unknowingly Desdemona has married Othello behind her fathers back because of the likely hood that he would not approve.
d) Iago speaks the last quote. He told Brabantio that his daughter and Othello are having sexual relations together. This is all pay back to Othello for not hiring him as his Lieutenant. He knows that once Brabantio is convinced that they’re together, he’ll have Othello and Desdemona separated and Othello would lose his job.

Iago was the speaker of this line. He is stating why should I like the more for what he has done to me and for not letting the second in command under Othello. I have no reason to love the moor for what he has done because he has done nothing for him so I will do nothing in return for him.
b) 1.1.65-66 “But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve for daws to peck at. I am not what I am.”
Iago was the speaker of this quote. This quote is stating that Iago will wear his emotions on the outside of his body inside of holding them on the inside. The last sentence in the quotation is saying that since I will be wearing my emotions on the outside I will appear different from my original self. By doing this Iago will have the upper hand will plotting his plan against Othello.

a. 1.1.38-40 “…Now sir, be judge yourself whether I in any just term am affin’d to love the Moor”
-Speaker: Iago
-Iago is explaining that he does not support Othello because of his nationality and that he is a Moor. This is significant because it shows Iago’s disrespect for Othello.
b. 1.1.65-66 “But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve for daws to peck at. I am not what I am.”
-Speaker: Iago
-By wearing his heart on his sleeve, Iago will be able to maintain his false presence as an honest and loyal solder towards Othello and not show his true feeling towards the matter.
c. 1.1.98-100 “I have charg’d thee not to haunt about my doors In honest plainest thou hast heard me say My daughter is not for thee”
-Speaker: Brabantio
-Roderigo is infatuated with Brabantio’s daughter, Desdemona. In the past, Roderigo has asked Brabantio for his daughter’s hand in marriage but Barbantio keeps on turning his proposal down. When Brabantio sees Roderigo and Iago outside of his home, he assumes it is for the same reasons.
d. 1.1.116-117 "I am one, sire, that comes to tell you your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs"
-Speaker: Iago
-When Iago and Roderigo are standing outside of Barbantio’s home, Iago clearly states that Othello and Barbantio’s daughter, Desdemona, are together without Barbantio’s permission. This enrages Barbantio because of his daughter’s actions and as well at the fact that Othello is solder and not a nobleman.
Act 1.1
a. Iago’s main reason for being angry with Othello, is the fact that Othello chose Casio as his officer, or right hand man. To anyone else this would not be a huge deal, but Iago has been working with Othello much longer and see’s himself in much higher regards than Casio.
b. The reasons that Iago has for betraying Othello are; that he feels betrayed by Othello when he is not chosen as his assistant, and there is a certain amount of jealousy that Iago has towards Othello.
c. Barbantio is Desdemona’s father. He is very important and has a lot of power in these times. He is a very influential person.
d. Roderigo, is supposedly in love with Desdemona, but to me his love seems like a high school crush as his interests in her seem superficial.
Analyze Text
A) The speaker in this line is Iago. He is ranting to Rodrigo about his problems towards Othello. In this particular quote, Iago is asking for Rodrigo’s support and is asking Rodrigo to tell him that he is not wrong for being mad at Othello. This is an important line because it solidifies Iago’s intentions and also gains the support of his pawn, Rodrigo.
B) The speaker in this line is again Iago. He is explaining to Rodrigo, more reasons to dislike Othello. When he says this quote, he is saying that he will act a certain way, but his intensions will be completely different. He will act in a way so that people think they are seeing the real him, but are greatly mistaken.
C) The speaker in this line is Barbantio. Barbantio and Rodrigo obviously have a past together, because this line shows that Barbantio doesn’t take to well to Rodrigo being there. He thinks Rodrigo is there for his daughter, when really he is there to deliver the bad news.
D) This is Rodrigo speaking. He is insinuating to Barbantio that the moor and his daughter have married. This is a very important line because this is where Barbantio finds out that his daughter has been doing things behind his back, and that Othello cannot be trusted as well. This leads to the issue being brought up in front of the Duke.
