But what Lodovico doesn’t know is Othello thinks, because of what Iago has brainwashed into his head. It seems to Lodovico, that Othello has changed a lot since coming to Cyprus because hitting your wife is an imaginable crime. He does because he is so carried away with his plan to destroy Cassio, he starts blaming Othello. He says to Iago, Is this the noble Moor, whom our fill senateĬall all in all sufficient? Is this the nature Whom passion could not shake, whose solid virtue The shot of accident nor dart of chance Could neither graze nor pierce? (llll,i,297) Iago then states, behind Othello’s back, how much Othello has changed. He is very surprised that an honest, strong hearted man, who had so much passion for Desdemona could do such a thing.
Othello, now in a huge outrage, slaps Desdemona and storms out. He the threatens Desdemona by asking, “Are you wise? ” (lll,i,257) He does not approve of Desdemona telling Lodovico these thing. So, obviously Desdemona did not intend for this to be a secret. (llll,i,255) Othello hears what she is saying because he is standing right there. An unkind breach, but you shall make all well. Desdemona say, “Cousin, there’s fall’n between him and my lord. ’” (llll,i,250) As Othello is reading the letter, Desdemona tells Lodovico about what has been going on since they reached Cyprus. Othello reads, “ ‘This fail you not to do, as you will. Lodovico comes to deliver a message for Othello to return to Venice for Othello has done this job of defeating the Turks. One of the last instances where the theme appearance versus reality appears is when Lodovico, the Duke’s messenger, comes into the book. This marks the begging of the period of Othello’s craziness. Iago supports everything Othello has been lead to believe. Now, since Othello trusts Iago, he believes everything Iago says to him and trusts his opinions, even though they are in reality, lies. ” (lll,i,155) Othello now believes everything and has evidence of his eyes, which for him is all the evidence he needs. Othello sees this from afar and says in shock, “Crying, ‘O dear Cassio,’ as it were, his gesture imports it. In reality, Iago places Cassio in a position to talk about how great Bianca is so great. (By this hand, she falls) thus about my Neck! (llll,i,150) I was the other day talking on the Sea-bank with certain Venetians, and thither comes, The bauble. From afar, it looks like Cassio is talking in a sexual way about Desdemona. Since this is later in the book, Iago has been able to give Othello a purpose for being mad at Desdemona. Iago then starts a conversation with Cassio about Bianca. A second instance in the book where appearance versus reality presents itself s when Iago places Othello where he can see but cannot hear. But, this instance is only the beginning of the lies that he sees from afar.
Now, Othello questions how Cassio and Desdemona are talking, but does not have a good enough motive to get angry at Desdemona nor does he ask her about Cassio. (lll,iii,11) Othello believes only what his eyes tell him. You do love my lord You have known him long and be you well assured He shall in strangeness stand no farther off Than in politic distance.

Iago whispers to Othello, “…I cannot think it, that he would steal away so guilty like. Iago has presented to Othello, in a sneaky way, that Desdemona and Cassio are having an affair. The basis around which he is suspicious comes from Iago, a very jealous man.
