He plays on Othello’s “free and open” nature‚ on his mission to prove Desdemona’s infidelity and create the metaphor of the “green-eyed monster”‚ which both Othello and Iago will nurture. Iago’s also gives Cassio “free and honest” advice about asking Desdemona for his position back after his fall from grace‚ showing again the dramatic irony Shakespeare portrays.
