Show transcript
The depths of Iago’s depravity, treachery and cowardice are revealed in his violence towards Cassio and Roderigo. Othello's violent speech contrasts poignantly with his declarations of love in Act 1. Night symbolises Iago and Othello’s descent into darkness and foreshadows the evil acts to come.
