Shakespeare - Othello Act 3.

Iago is definitely a sneaky one. He has everyone believing every little thing that comes out of his mouth. Othello is starting see Cassio around Desdemona a lot, and starting to think something is going on more and more. When really there is nothing at all. Iago is so manipulative and he has been able to persuade Othello into thinking that Desdemona is cheating with Cassio without even telling him. When Othello became more sure of himself, Iago would try to somehow persuade him otherwise.

The entire play reminds me of high school drama. The couple that is completely happy together, then you have the single folks who are hating because they have nothing else better to do. Lies fly left and right, back and forth between buddies about the girl. Of course the guy believes his friends, because shoot they are his friends and why would they lie. Then by the time he find s out the truth its at the point where the relationship is trashed and there is no way to mend it.

The play is like life now. People are going through this type of situation day in and day out. Listening to he say she say and buying into it. Not trusting their heart and knowing who is really down for them. Not taking it upon themselves to find out the truth by asking, instead they decide to make the situation worse than it is and going around sneaking trying to find out information.
