Othello act 3

This act has been like a soap opera. I can see the opportunities for Othello to save himself are getting very very slim. One thing that stuck out to me was when Cassio went to talk to Desdemona and when he heard Othello coming he just covered his face an ran away. Which was very stupid because if he really wanted his job back he should have confronted Othello about it. But if Othello wasn't so gullible he would have asked Cassio his side of the story. Desdemona tried her hardest to get him to talk to Cassio but he didn't know what the people of Cyprus would've thought.


In my opinion everyone one in this play is stupid except for Iago. Even though i dislike him. He's very manipulative and two faced. For example he subconsciously put the idea that Cassio was cheating into Othello's head. He kinda beat around the bush at it, and then tried to make it seem like he wasn't sure and he doesn't want to hurt anyone. Othello tries to talk himself out of being jealous but he acts like he is and everyone can see that.

The whole mess about the handkerchief thing showed how stupid people can be. Othello is supposed to be a smart man right? Wouldn't he have noticed that the handkerchief was placed on his head? And if it was Desdemona's favorite pesstion wouldnt she have noticed it was gone and picked it up? I think when Othello found out that it was gone and asked her where it was and actually listened it could've been prevented.

I'm not even sure what to think of the next act. I really just wanna see who dies and who kills who and how? I think i have a few clues though as to who it might be. But the only thing i can think is that Iago is the only main character left, And that he gets to take Othello's place in the end. But you can never be too sure.
