Act 5 Questions

In the beginning of Act 5 scene 1, how is the fight between Cassio and
Roderigo a no lose situation for Iago?
The fight at the start of Act 5 Scene 1 between Cassio and Roderigo is a no-lose
situation for Iago because if Cassio dies, then Iago gets his job, if Roderigo dies
then there isnt information anyone can use against him.
Why dont Gratiano and Lodovico run in to help at first?
Gratiano and Lodovico dont come down to help Cassio at first because they
werent sure who it was, and at that time period nobles were told to not help
because it could be an ambush.
How does Iago imply Bianca is involved in the attack on Cassio?
Bianca lets slip that Cassio was on his way to dine with her that night, so Iago says
that she was part of the trap to attack Cassio that night with Roderigo.
List every heaven/hell reference in act 5

heavenly powers!
When Othello goes to stab Iago, he says I look down towards his feet;but that's
a fable.
If that thou be'st a devil, I cannot kill thee.

governor,
Remains the censure of this hellish villain.

Explain how Othellos put out the light speech in the beginning of Act 5
scene 2 is horribly ironic.
Othellos put out the light speech is very ironic because at the beginning he puts
out the candlelight, puts out Desdemonas light, then his own.
How is it possible that Othello could have actually gotten away with the
murder of Desdemona if he cared to?
Othello could have gotten away with murdering Desdemona because she said it
was someone else who had killed her. He could have kept quiet about the fact that
she was lying.
Describe the deaths of each character who dies in the play.
Brabantio ~ Death by Stress
Desdemona ~ Suffocated via pillow by Othello
Emilia ~ Literally stabbed in the back by Iago in order to cover his escape
Roderigo ~ Stabbed in the stomach during his fight with Cassio by Iago
Othello ~ Suicide out of grief of his stupidity
Othello wounds Iago but does not kill him, and claims he is happy with this

he knows he is about to die for his crimes, so Iago not dying means he will not
have to see him for a while yet.
