Iago's Plan

In the end of Act 1 Iago creates a plan to win Desdemona. Iago is furious that Desdemona is not with him, but with Othello. The beginning of Iago's plan is to trick Rodrigo into being on his side. With Rodrigo being on his side he then can make sure that Desdemona and Othello will split up. Once he tricks Rodrigo to be on his side he then thinks of a devious plan to make Othello believe that Desdemona has been cheating on him with another man. That other man happens to be Cassio who is known to be a good looking gentlemen, which will make the suspicion seem more believable. Another reason that Iago believes this plan will work is because he is known around for being a trustworthy man so when he informs Othello of the cheating, he will then break up with her and give Rodrigo the opportunity to move on in. I don't believe that this plan will work because I feel like everyone will eventually realize what Iago is doing and then Othello and Desdemona will get back together. Right now I think that the plan will start to work and that Iago will be able to talk Othello into not wanting to be with Desdemona, but then they will find out and get back together.
