And of course at the same time himself dined that to avoid the suspicion. For him, that’s a great chance to rise Othello’s doubt against Desdemona, thus, Iago says it was so wired that Cassio runs away so quickly, he was like a thief running away after a stealing something in the night. We believe that’s because he’s still feeling guilty about what he has down. Desdemona asks him to stay, but Cassio says it is going to be weird and embrace for the meeting, So he hurries run out. Cassio was so grateful, and Desdemona emphasizes that she'll do everything, she even said: "Thy solicitor shall rather die/ Than give thy cause away." At this instance, Cassio sees Othello is coming, so he decides to leave. During those Desdemona promises to Cassio that she will convince Othello to grant Cassio's position in military back asap. Come, be a man! Drown thyself? Drown cats and blind puppies! I have profess’d me thy friend, and I confess me knit to thy deserving with cables of perdurable toughness.The scene starts with the conversation between Desdemona, Cassio, and Emilia. It is merely a lust of the blood and a permission of the will. She lov’d me for the dangers I had pass’d,

He reflects on how he hates Othello, and believes that he has been cuckolded by the Moor. Iago is delighted, since he tends to pillage Roderigo’s purse. Roderigo is convinced and goes to sell his lands for cash. Instead, Iago encourages him to disguise himself and follow them all to Cyprus, claiming that Desdemona will never put up with a black man for long, and that therefore Roderigo will have a chance at her when she gets bored with the novelty. Left alone with Roderigo, Iago bullies the young man out of his depressed insistence that he wishes to drown himself. Brabantio tells Othello not to trust Desdemona, since if she is capable of betraying her father, she could do the same to her husband. Othello is commanded to leave at once for Cyprus when the men discuss where Desdemona should stay while he is away, the lady speaks up and asks permission to follow her newlywed husband to Cyprus. Brabantio unwillingly gives in, and begs that the subject be changed and that they get to affairs of state.
Desdemona, sent for, confirms this, and explains that she now owes her obedience to her husband more than to her father. He admits to marrying Desdemona, but insists the only magic he used was telling stories of his life. Things then get a bit more complicated, and Othello is asked to tell his version of what has happened. He insists that Desdemona has been bewitched, and the Duke promises immediate vengeance until he hears that the accused is Othello. Brabantio and Othello arrive the Duke is glad to see Othello, who will lead the Venetian forces against the Turks, but Brabantio interrupts and insists on having his case against the Moor heard. They soon work out that the attack on Rhodes was merely a feint and that Cyprus is the true target. The Duke and the Senators look over the conflicting reports they are receiving about a Turkish fleet that seems to be aiming either for Rhodes or for Cyprus.
