Out of revenge‚ Iago successfully planted the seeds of jealousy into Othello’s mind when in the garden he insinuated that Cassio and Desdemona were having an affair. Iago implied that he would use Cassio to make Othello jealous because Othello chose Cassio over him to be a second command man because Cassio was more experience than he was.
