Othello~ Act 2. Scene 1

Quote: " The heavens forbid
But that our loves and comforts should increase,
Even as our days do grow" (2.1 lines 191-193).

Significance: This quote seems to reveal a sense of foreshadowing for Othello and Desdemona's relationship. Since Iago is backstabbing everyone and he seems to think that Othello has done something with his wife, and that Cassio is madly in love with Desdemona, I think that he will definitely be the reason for all of the drama that will happen throughtout the rest of the play. It almost seems like that sine Iago is being the sneaky one i the play that he might end up being the more well off one in the end (maybe a new wife).

Question: Will Roderigo turn against Iago at any point and tell Othello what is going on?
