Loyal Cassio

Cassio is loyal through and through. His loyalty can be seen throughout the play, from the beginning and up to the very end. Cassio starts by saying, "Thanks, you the valiant of this warlike isle; That so approve the Moor. Oh, let the heavens; Give him defense against the elements,; For I have lost him on a dangerous sea." This allows us how truly noble Cassio is when he asks God to keep him safe from the sea. This is how the audience can tell that Cassio loves Othello and does not want to see him get hurt. Cassio also shows how much respect he has for Othello when he thanks the men who defend the island and respect Othello.

Just like the first line the Cassio speaks, his last line shows the audience how loyal Cassio is and how much respect he has for Othello. His ethos do not change. This can be seen when Cassio ends by saying, "This did I fear, but thought he had no weapon,; For he was great of heart." This lets the audience see that even though Othello has betrayed him, Cassio still respects Othello and would never want him to die.

Iago does the best job at "speaking the same language". He deceives everyone he talks to by "speaking the same language" as them. He deceives Roderigo into thinking that Desdemona does not really want to be with Othello and that she would eventually want him. He deceives Othello into thinking his wife is cheating on him with Cassio by convincing him that there is proof and that he is honest and loyal to Othello. He deceives Cassio into thinking that he is his friend and he has Cassio's best interest at heart. He had everyone else convinced in a similar fashion.
