Othello-Journal Response 2

It was interesting how Cassio and Desdemona are just talking and being friendly and Iago, in an aside, he mentions how he's happy about that and he's going to use all their friendliness and their so-called politeness to make it even easier to frame Cassio. When Iago and Roderigo are having their exchange, Iago tells him how he is supposed to do something to upset or annoy Cassio. And he is just manipulating everyone because Iago knows that Desdemona and Cassio's exchange is totally innocent and Roderigo tells him that but Iago twists it all around to convince Roderigo. And I think it was interesting how Iago says "Knavery's plain face is never seen 'till used" at the end of the scene. I think what he's saying is that evil and trickery and deceit are often right in front of you but you don't see them. Like how Iago is right under Othello's nose and is someone he trusts but he has no idea that Iago is plotting against him.
