Quote- Iago: "... He knows not yet of his honorable fortune. If you will watch his going thence, which I will fashion to fall out between twelve and one, you may take him at your pleasure. I will be near to second your attempt, and he shall fall between us. Come, stand not amazed at it, but go along with me. I will show you such a necessity in his death that you shall think yourself bound to put it on him" (4.3.234-241).
Significance: Once again, Iago tries to save himself by making up a story to ruin someone elses life. Now he wants to stay friends with Roderigo for the time being so he has someone to fall back on. The new suspect of his scheme is Cassio, because he has been elected the new governor since Othello was leaving. Iago and Roderigo are going to deal with Cassio so that Othello will have no choice but to stay in Cyprus with Desdemona, which is good for Roderigo. When will anyone realize that Iago is just a..not very nice person and needs to be dealt with?
Question: Is Iago just setting Roderigo up so he will get into trouble?
