Another reason why Othello is to blame for his downfall is because of his insecurities which lead him to believing that Desdemona has been unfaithful. In a way one could understand that Othello was simply waiting for Iago’s promting

makes sure that Othello doesn ’t remove Desdemona ’s dishonesty from his mind. Iago continually nags Othello about the handkerchief and Cassio ’s interactions with Desdemona. Less serious but equally indicative of his nature as the tempter is how Iago encourages Cassio to drink with his entreaty: "But one cup‚ I ’ll drink for you" (2.3.34-5).
