The scene generates and develops many ideas and themes essential to the plot of the play through the use of language employed throughout the scene. The scene serves as a turning point for Othello’s jealousy, evoked by Iago’s manipulation of Othello to believe that his wife, Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio, spurring Othello’s jealousy to a murderous rage. ‘I’m very grateful,’ said Cassio and followed her into the castle.Act III, Scene 3 of William Shakespeare’s’ Othello’ is constructed to be a pivotal point in the play in the extension of the development of underlying themes embodied by the play as well as grounding the foundation of newly occurring themes to be introduced into the play. ‘I’ll take you somewhere where you can speak freely to her.’ ‘If you think it fitting, and if you can manage it, give me the chance of a brief chat with Desdemona in private.’ He values you very highly and needs no other suitor than his own desire to bring you back at the first opportunity.’ The Moor’s argument is that the man you injured is important here in Cyprus and that he is also a significant ally.

The General and his wife are talking about it and she’s stoutly defending you. I’m sorry to hear about your troubles, but I’m sure it will all turn out well. Good morning, good Lieutenant,’ she said. He waited no more than five minutes before Emilia came out to him. ‘I sincerely thank you.’ He had never known even a Florentine as kind and honest as Iago. ‘I’ll send her to you in a while, and I’ll find a means of taking the Moor out of the way so that you can talk more freely.’Ĭassio smiled. My suit to her is that she will get me access to the virtuous Desdemona.’ I’ve taken the liberty, Iago, of sending a message to your wife. It was already daylight before we parted. ‘Do that, my good friend,’ said Cassio ‘Ah,’ he said, as Iago came round the corner. If the gentlewoman who attends on the General’s wife is up tell her there’s one Cassio who’s asking to talk to her. ‘Do you hear me, my honest friend?’ said Cassio. Cassio called to the old man, who ignored him. ‘Then pack your pipes away,’ the old man said. ‘We don’t have any silent music, Sir,’ the minstrel said. But, as they say, the General doesn’t particularly like listening to music.’ ‘Of course, if you have any music that’s silent, then start again. ‘The musicians laughed and their leader took the purse. The General likes your music so much that he wishes you for the sake of love to stop making such a noise with it.’ ‘By many wind instruments that I know of. ‘Yes, they are, of course,’ said the minstrel. ‘I ask you’, said the old man, ‘are these wind instruments?’ ‘What do you mean?’ said the musician’s leader. ‘What’s this, gentlemen? Have your instruments been in Naples that they have such a terrible, nasal sound? They sound like they have the pox.’ They began, but they had hardly warmed to their tune when the old man whose job it was to sweep the courtyard came out and held his hands up. Play something short, and sing “Good morning General”.’ The troupe of musicians followed Michael Cassio to the little square overlooked by the castle’s living quarters.
