- This piece of art reflects the full answer to central question one in regards to Act I, as it displays the beginnings of Iag's hate for Othello and Cassio, and the main faults he finds within them. Using quotations from the play, the comic highlights that Iago feels Cassio's fault is his lack of experience, and Othello's is his naivety - both traits not being conducive for battle. Iago in the comic prides himself not only on his experience, having seen the battle at Rhodes and Cyprus (unlike Cassio), but his sensibility in only trusting himself. He showcases this by stating, "I follow but myself," in contrast to Othello who "will be as tenderly led by th' nose" by Iago. This indicates that Iago feels he is neither inexperienced like Cassio, nor foolish like Othello. Thus, making Iago see himself as the better leader because he lacks what he views as Othello's and Cassio's major downfalls.By: Olivia Neubert
