"Faith, that was no so well; yet would I knew/ That stroke would prove worst" (4.1. 274-275).
As hard as Othello tries to show his hatred for Desdemona, he is still madly in love with her. He can't help but notice how beautifully she sings or how musically talented she is. Iago on the other hand wants him to strangle her in bed instead of poisoning her! He is a terrible person who refuses to stop his evil plan. Iago already got the position he wanted, but now he is out to get Othello! He even convinces Lodovico that Othello beats Desdemona on a regular basis! Iago is making things worse and worse. Hopefully, he will get caught in his act, but it doesn't look like this will happen. Poor Desdemona is simply an innocent girl who really doesn't know any better. She genuinely loves Othello, but Iago makes it look as though she loves Cassio. Cassio really doesn't even deserve anything back. He is simply a pig that should leave Cyprus. Cassio is making things even worse by coming in the situation at all the wrong times and causing even more conflict with Desdemona and Othello.
