Othello 2

In the exchange between Iago and Rodrigo, Iago has convinced himself that Desdemona loves Cassio and Cassio loves Desdemona. He tries to convince Rodrigo of this but Rodrigo hesitates and doesn't really believe him. I think it is really interesting how after a small exchange between Desdemona and Cassio, Iago immediately assumes they love each other and completely convinces himself of this. To me I see that Iago is so desperate to get back at Othello that he is willing to pick out the smallest possible flaw that Othello could have. It kind of amazes me that he is do desperate.
