1)What happened in Act 2 of Othello? How does Shakes. set us up for the perpeteia at the end of the last act? What are some conflicts that arise here, and how does Iago expand his web of deception? 2)Is Iago's response to Othello's favoritism of Cassio warranted? Are the causes commiserate with the effects? How could Iago have responded so that his feelings were addressed, without resulting in the denigration of Desdemona and Cassio's character?
