Within acts one through three there is an enormous amount of jealousy and lying coming from Iago. This is seen again again due to the fact that he was not granted the position in which Cassio was. Not only that, but Iago is also jealous of Othello's wife and the thought that Othello possibly slept with his own wife. All of this built up jealousy leads him to not only lie but plan and carry out Othello's demise. One of my favorite parts of this play is when Iago tells the audience in a soliloquy of his master plan each time. This is so unique in the way that it makes the audience feel more "in on the secret" and part of the play themselves.
Apart from this, in my copy of the play, the previous owner wrote beside each conversation explaining what exactly was going on and what the characters were saying in easier to understand terms. We were just talking about this a few weeks ago and whether or not we write in our books. Throughout this read, I have struggled to understand the language and style of writing but the previous comments have helped greatly in my read and even made me laugh at times!
