Othello, the Moor of Venice / William Shakespeare / Act IV Scene i

“Now will I question Cassio of Bianca…He, when he hears of her, cannot refrain from the excess of laughter,” (Shakespeare IV.i.91-97).  Iago is at it again.  He uses Cassio’s own feelings against him.  How does Iago come to know so much about everybody?  Just because he is considered honest how many people would trust him?  Iago frames Cassio without even giving him a hint that he has done so.  Bianca ends up perfectly helping Iago as well without even realizing it.  Why does Othello trust Iago so much without making better queries of others who might have seen their betrayal?  Why does Othello not find it odd that Bianca has such and interest in Cassio.  Iago can twist so many people to get what he wants without implicating himself.
