Othello Notes

Act II Scene i

- so basically they have landed in Cyprus and they are discussing how bad the weather is

- then they are told that the Turkish navy will be broken up and would have drowned so you don't need to worry about them because they are dead

- Othello is still at sea and will be arriving shortly

- Othello is a great dude and they hope he's okay

- but he's also a great leader... you go O-thell-O (haha get it like you go Glenn Coco)

- They decide to go and check out the ship that had just arrived in port.

- everyone is worried about Othello but they shouldn't because his ship is sturdy and everything will be fine

- a ship has now arrived and they think it's Othello

- but it wasn't it was Desdemona and everyone is basically swooning over how hot she is

- and also Roderigo, Iago, and Emilia, but no one seems to really care about them.

- Cassio gosh stop flirting with Desdemona... SHE'S MARRIED

- Desdemona asks about Othello

- and they conveniently spot another ship

- Is this OTHELLO? is it? Is It? iS iT? IS IT?

- the dudes welcome Emilia and Desdemona

- Cassio kisses Emilia presumably on the cheek and then apologises for kissing Iago's wife, because "it's a courtesy where (he) comes from" he probably just wanted to kiss her

- iago says that if Emilia talks to Cassio as much as he talked to him Cassio would be tired of her, because, ultimately, she talks too much

- he basically is insulting her in front of someone

- Desdemona is now also mad at Iago because he's an idiot

- she always wants to talk when Iago is tired or busy

- Iago can't think of anything nice to say about Desdemona

- Desdemona is pretending to be happy, but she's super worried about Othello

- Iago and Desdemona get into an argument about beauty and wits.

- Cassio takes Desdemona's hands as a comforting measure

- Iago notices that Cassio is flirting with Desdemona and now he plots how he's going to get him fired

- Othello finally arrives

- Othello and Desdemona are overjoyed to see each other

- Iago tells Roderigo his plans to get Cassio drunk and fired

- Iago knows that Desdemona fell in love with Othello because he bragged and told her stories and stuff

- So he's going to get Cassio wasted and send him after Desdemona

- because she isn't as innocent as she seems because she was basically totally fondling her

- and Iago believes that they are going to be lovers

- soo Iago is going to make Roderigo do his dirty work and he will be the one making Cassio mad and stuff

- Iago now points out that that he thinks that Desdemona and Cassio love each other
