Roderigo

I have decided to go through with the plan to get rid of Cassio. Iago and I are going to wait for Cassio to come out of the brothel, while I have a rapier ready for action. It seems easy enough, maybe too easy. I have a slight feeling that something is about to go terribly wrong....

I'm getting very impatient with Iago. I wonder if he even gave Desdemona the jewels I've been giving him to give her! I might as well just tell her myself that I am seriously in love with her. To make things even worse, apparently Othello might be taking Desdemona to Africa! I will not let that happen! According to Iago, I must get rid of Cassio in order to prevent this. The more I think about it, the more I agree that Cassio must go...

First, he takes all my money (Even though it's impossible since I am so rich). THEN, He doesn't even do what I paid him for!! Iago keeps telling me that he has a plan but I am having some serious doubts.

Instead of celebrating the drowning of the Turks, Iago pulled me aside to discuss his plan. What I thought was a mere gesture of courtesy when Cassio took Desdemona's hand, Iago found as an ill-intentioned gesture. Unfortunately, Iago convinced me to start a fight with Cassio at the celebration that night. The things love can make you do... I didn't favor the idea at first because, well, I'm not the fighting type but anyways, this is what went down. Iago convinced Cassio to take one drink and it all went downhill from there. All of a sudden, Cassio was chasing me around the place! When Montano tried to interfere, Cassio stabs him and RING RING- the alarm bell sounds. When Othello arrives, he dismissed Cassio from his service! Step 1 of Get Desdemona Back complete! 

I am READY to just surrender. I CAN-NOT. Desdemona has decided to follow her beloved Othello to Cyprus, as he defends the island from those Turks. How can I compete with that?! She won't even be in the same place as me now and I JUST WANT TO DROWN MYSELF. OKAY. But Iago had the idea of following him to Cyprus so he can work everything out. He better follow through....

Iago is being useless. He has not progressed with his duty at all. If anything, I am even further away from my goal than before. Apparently, my love is married to the Moor, Othello. How dare she marry the Moor?! Her father would never allow such a thing. Iago said it was a secret; I think it's my job to break it to Brabantio. I am beyond frustrated with Desdemona's inability to see that I am the one for her.

So, there is this girl. Her name is Desdemona and she is the daughter of a Venetian senator. She is perfect; but so am I. We BELONG together. For some reason I am having trouble pursuing this lovely gem that I have resulted to desperate measures. Yes. I have paid this man Iago to assist in my pursuit. It's not like I don't have tons of money to spare anyways. He better do a magnificent job at making Desdemona my wife, or I might just kill myself.
