Iago's manipulation

Othello: I chose a fly for Othello because he would always fall into Iago's traps and trickeries and he was Iago's main target.
2. Othello thinks that Cassio and Desdemona are having an affair. Cassio is Othello left hand man and his best friend. Othello was manipulated so badly that Othello ordered to have his best friend killed.

1. Through Iago's manipulation, he talks Cassio into drinking over his limit. He then convinces Rodrigo to provoke him into a fight. This leads into Montano getting injured by Cassio when he tried to intervene, this also Cassio's demotion. Also in scene 5.1 Roderigo attempts to kill Cassio but fails.
