- 1RODER AS IF THE STRINGS WERE THINEHe acknowledges that he is acting like Iago's puppet and does so for the rest of the play
- 2IAGO: I KNOW MY PRICE AND I AM WORTH NO WORSE A PLACEconfident and assured he is right and othello = wrong. provides a strong contrast with what was said about Cassio ' mere prattle without practice' - reader assumes Cassio = weak
- 3'TILL I AM EVENED WITH HIM, WIFE FOR WIFE'Although Iago seems strong he is a very insecure character and fears cuckoldry. This quote is play on biblical theme eye for eye and yet iago= demon. Othello similar - ' For I fear Cassio with my night cap as well'
- 4IAGO: THE MOOR ALREADY CHANGES WITH MY POISONThe poison is not physical but refers to Iago's manipulation and shows its effects - 'He is much changed'. Iago's power also comes through language he uses hesitation so that Othello is the one who completes his lies.
