Soliloquy/ Act 2

Cassio: (aside) "He takes her by the palm. Ay, well said, whisper! With as little a web as this will I ensnare as great a fly as Cassio. Ay, smile upon her, do, I will gyve thee in thine own courtship. You say true, 'Tis so, indeed."  This is an example of a soliloquy. A soliloquy is when a character is speaking aside during the play by themselves.  This allows the reader to know the thoughts of some of the characters.  This was in Act 2 when Cassio returns, and he grabs Desdemona by the hand.  She was very excited when she realized he was home safely because she was very worried about him being caught in the storm.  Some things were revealed in the Act.  I learned that Cassio cannot really handle drinking.  He tries to stop,but when he starts, he drinks too much.  Also, I learned that Iago does not exactly respect women as Cassio does.  Iago thinks rude and lustful things about women.  Cassio cares for women and wants to care for them.  This was a very interesting Act!
