“What is it lad why is it that you wake me at this hour the sun does not rise for many an hour”, Brabantio replies.
“I bring news of your Daughter, she has betrayed you”.
“ My dear lad you have been after my Daughter for a long time but she will not be yours”, he says in an overwhelming voice.
“He speaks the truth sire, your Daughter has betrayed you with someone nor of our kin”, Iago shouts.
“And who are you good sir” Brabantio demands.
“A friend just a friend”, Iago replies hiding in the darkness of the blowing trees trying not to be noticed.
“My Daughter betrays ME this I will see not to happen, SERVANTS!!!!!!! Wake the house summon all to me”, he cries.
“My Lord all are awake and are in the next room waiting for you”, the servant tells.
As Brabantio leaves the long trooping balcony Iago slips of into the darkness of the night as his deed is done.
In the mist of the foggy gloomy streets walked two hand in hand, it was the brave, handsome Othello with his stunning bride Desdemona both seemed happy, laughing together, kissing, cuddling and constantly smiling in a way that makes a black room shine with light as rays of sunshine shine through it was perfect, but unknown to them in the background walking quietly trying not to be noticed was Honest Iago, what could he be doing? Why is he following them? And why doesn’t he want to be noticed, but to his surprise a figure emerged from a dark alleyway.
“Iago where have you been”, it was his adoring wife Emilia.
“Why are you out here, I told YOU I WOULD BE HOME SOON!” he yelled.
“Who is that who makes these loud noises in the depth of the night show yourself, do not be afraid it is I Othello and my Heavenly Wife”, Othello pronounced.
“Othello good friend it is I Iago and my dear wife we our out for a small stroll, we thought we saw you ahead and I shouted to see if it was you, may we join you on this gloomy night’, Iago replied.
Othello laughing “Why Iago you have no need to ask you are a true friend it is always an honour and a pleasure to have you by my side whether it be in battle or in the streets”.
“Then we shall join you, we will catch you up, go on ahead I have to talk to my one true love for a moment’, Iago replied.
“Okay friend see you soon”.
Othello and Desdemona continue on down the street heading towards the dock to watch the ships dock.
“Now wife, I have to catch them up but YOU go back I will tell them you are not feeling so good and you returned as you did not want to spoil the mood, OK’.
“Yes my LORD”. She pronounced.
And walked back down the alleyway, but as Iago continued down the path Emilia with her courage quietly followed after him wondering what he is upto.
Iago believing he is alone starts to mumble to himself “Oh fool Othello why did you not promote me, you say I am honest if you where not such a blind man you would see what I really am, I will have my revenge and in doing so Cassio will fall with you under my hand and you all will wish I was the one who was promoted”, he continues along the path some more and starts again” I have a plan, I will take Desdemona’ handkerchief when I get to the Docks, then I will slip it into Cassio’s possession, from here I will make Othello believe Desdemona and Cassio are both having an affair, both will not survive the final encounter and I will get what I deserve”, he slowly speeds up down to the Docks to sneak the handkerchief away.
As soon as Iago has gone good wise Emilia returns to where she suppose to be and ponders what to do about the handkerchief, whether to betray her Husband or to save two good friends.
In the mist of the night walked a man, a man of honour and dignity, a man so pure his heart shines like a star, a man so loyal, so loyal as to put his life on the line time and time again for his master, this is a true honorable man and it could be no other except Cassio.
As he walked alone he started to feel a cold chill down his spine he knew something was wrong, so as he walked he grasped his sword, step by step his grip became tighter and then from the bleakness of the night stepped a figure sword held high, why is was Roderigo the good Gentlemen what is his purpose?
“CASSIO I want your blood”, he bellowed.
“Good Sir what have I done to fend you to cause this anger in you”, He replied.
“YOU you and Desdemona having an affair, I wanted to be the one who she betrayed Othello for ME!” he said with a tone of anger,
“For you are mistaken I have not had the affair for you see Iago has been trying to play us all of against one another, I know as Honest Emilia confided in Othello, Desdemona, Bianca, Lodavico, Gratiano and myself, for you see we have a plan to get him back please join us or die for your betrayal”, he said in a quite yet overpowering voice.
“You mean he has betrayed me, oh DAMNATION how, why he called me his only friend I gave him money, he gave me……………he gave me nothing except promises none have which come true oh damn him damn him all the way to hell, his soul will rot for this deed, I am by your side to the end”, he announced.
“CASSIO BEHIND YOU DUCK!”, he screamed.
It was Iago coming from behind at Cassio to terminate his life but thanks to Roderigo Iago missed and a grueling battle began, as he fought he shouted “Roderigo call the guards get Othello, this has to end be quick now go GO!”.
Roderigo ran as fast as he could through the streets until he reached the gates.
“OTHELLO oh wake Othello, Iago is attacking Cassio, and yes I do know what Iago has done now, I side with you come quickly and bring more guards and soldiers”, he bellowed.
“What damn Iago making the move first I have will have his blood, ALL awake come quickly we have a deed to finish”, he replied, then bellowed.
All the men women and even a few children guided by Roderigo headed the furious battle but as the battle was reached, there was silence,
“Cassio my friend are you ok”, Othello shouted.
And out from the mist of a back alley walked a figure clothes torn, slashed and shredded, but alive, it was Cassio his sword gleaming with blood he replied “I am alive good sir but Honest Iago has come to his end, I am sorry sire if this was not your wish”, he replied in a strong deep voice.
“My friend you have only done what I was going to do, you have saved me a job”, he tells smiling “But we will give him a proper Burial as he still was a damn good soldier, even though in the end he betrayed us all”, he said in a sad voice.
“My lord”, Emilia pronounced “My husband was a good soldier but he betrayed me, you, your wife and many others I am not glad f his death but I am glad he will not be able to do this again”, she told in a dreary sad voice.
“Then we shall set him of to sea and let the waves of justice see fit to what must be done, we leave this place for now and now all is well and true we will be happy once again”, Othello pronounced.
All one by one turned there back on Iago and slowly, but not all sadly walked back to where they had come.
