Othello's best friend is also his boss. He acts like he's somebody else to stay with the 'cool crowd' he calls Desdemona "divine" just because everyone else seems to think so.

In
a
rather
convenient
turn
of
fate,
your
best
friend
is
also
your
boss.
No
more
ass- kissing
for
you,
right?
WRONG.
If
youre
Cassio
from
Othello,
the
only
thing
you
care
about
is
reputation,
reputation,
reputation
(2,3,281),
and
youll
do
anything
to
get
it!
Throughout
this
whole
play,
Cassio
constantly
changes
the
way
he
acts
to
stay
with
the
cool
crowd
(aka
Othello).
Let
me
explain.
Ill
begin
by
saying
that
Cassio
has
a
very
enviable
job
as
lieutenant,
which
he
only
got
because
he
was
the
wingman
in
Othellos
relationship
with
Desdemona.
Despite
the
fact
that
the
couple
CLEARLY
likes
him,
he
brown-noses
Desdemona
continuously.
Come
on
Cassio,
calling
Desdemona
divine
(2,1,80),
just
because
everyone
else
seems
to
think
so
is
a
little
bit
misleading
as
to
your
personal
relationship
with
her,
dont
cha
think?
I
can
hardly
blame
old,
experienced
soldiers
like
Iago
for
deciding
that
theyve
had
enough
of
this
bootlicking,
and
taking
a
stance!
To
end
all
this
unjust
flattery,
Iago
decides
to
organise
a
barbarous
brawl
(2,3,184),
initiated
by
Cassio,
to
prove
to
Othello
that
actions
really
do
speak
louder
than
words.
And
so,
what
starts
as
Othellos
first
lovemaking
night
turns
into
a
wild
game
of
Keeping
Up
With
Cassio.
Like,
come
on
man,
dont
be
f*cking
rude.
Let
me
tell
you
first
that
Cassio
is
the
kind
of
guy
who
hates
drinking,
but
does
it
anyway
because
he
doesnt
want
to
be
the
only
one
sober.
So
when
Iago
shows
up
and
implies
that
sober-Cassio
is
a
party-pooper,
our
Kiss-Ass-Cass
decides
to
get
drunk.
Full
of
quarrel
and
offence
(2,3,49),
he
yells,
fights
with
another
one
of
Iagos
bitches
(named
Roderigo),
and
screws
up
Othellos
one
night
off.
This
time,
even
all
his
previous
ass
kissing
didnt
save
him
from
losing
his
job.
Umm,
remind
me
again
Cassio,
why
are
you
taking
advice
from
a
random
old
soldier
who
is
suspiciously
calm
about
you,
the
young
undeserving
executive,
having
a
higher
position
than
him?
And
on
your
bosss
wedding
night
too?
Straighten
your
tie,
son.
As
for
his
own
love
life,
Cassio
rather
unoriginally
copied
the
plot
of
Pretty
Woman
by
falling
in
love
with
a
prostitute.
Unlike
Richard
Gere,
however,
Cassio
would
rather
not
be
seen
womand
(3,4,221)
in
public.
Not
that
I
love
you
not,
[Bianca](3,4,225),
he
says,
just
youre
embarrassing
thats
all.
How
much
more
two-faced
can
you
get!?
Not
to
mention
that
Cassio
continues
to
brownnose
Desdemona
to
get
his
job
back.
He
couldnt
even
fathom
the
possibility
of
working
hard
to
get
a
raise.
If
my
boyfriend
came
a-wooing
(3,3,79)
his
bosss
wife
and
was
ashamed
to
be
seen
with
me
in
public,
Id
break
up
with
him
faster
than
Kylie
Jenner
can
change
her
hair
colour.
Biancas
the
angelic
one
here,
not
Desdemona.
Thankfully,
at
the
end
of
the
play
Cassio
decides
to
be
himself,
and
figure
out
why
his
brown-nosing
is
doing
the
opposite
of
what
it
should
be.
With
the
lyrics
of
Animals
Im
just
a
soul
whose
intentions
are
good,
Cassio
rushes
to
meet
Othello.
However,
coming
up
to
your
friend
right
after
he
killed
his
disloyal
wife
and
telling
him
that
you
werent
actually
sleeping
with
her
is
rather
unfortunate
timing.
Overall,
this
play
is
a
perfect
example
of
how
ass
kissing
will
in
fact
bite
your
ass.
Othello
could
have
been
a
lot
less
tragic
if
Cassio
didnt
become
somebody
else,
round,
everyone
else,
to
make
people
like
Avril
Lavigne
frustrated
centuries
after.
