web as this will I ensnare as great a fly as Cassio’
- Finally Othello’s ship arrives and he and Desdemona are delighted to be together again
- Left alone with Roderigo, Iago convinces him that Desdemona is already bored with Othello

speak the truth’
- Hearing of Cassio’s drunkenness and fighting, Othello says ‘Cassio, I love thee, but never
more be officer of mine’
- Believing Iago is his friend, Cassio tells him how upset he is, ‘O, I have lost my reputation,
I have lost the immortal part of myself and what remains is bestial’, and that he remembers
‘a mass of things, but nothing distinctly; a quarrel, but nothing wherefore’.
- Iago tells him to ask Desdemona for help in convincing Othello to give him back his job and
Cassio agrees saying ‘You advise me well’

‘will pour this pestilence into his ear: that she repeals him for her body’s lust’
