Why did Othello believe Iago
Othello’s uncontrollable emotions made him an easy target for Iago to manipulate. In the story is state the attitude of Othello. “My noble lord?/ What dost thou say,Iago?/ Did Michael Cassio, when you wooed my lady, know of your love?/ He did, from first to last, Why dost thou ask?/ But for a satisfaction of my thought, No further harm/ Why of thy thought, Iago?/ I did not think he been acquainted with her./ Oh yes, and went between us very oft./ Indeed?/ Indeed? Ay, Indeed! Discern’st thou aught in that? Is he not honest?/ Honest, my lord?/ Honest,ay, honest./ My lord, for aught i know./ What dost thou think?/ Think, my lord?/ “Think, My lord?” Alas, thou echo’st me as if there were some monster in thy thought Too hideous to be shown. Thou dost mean something” (3.3.94-114). This particular part of Othello shows that he is an easy person to be played by a fool. He was easily anger by Iago’s constant repetition of his words. It shows a change in his mood which can be used against him.
Othello’s insecurity is one of the things that made him believe Iago's lies. Nay,/ yet there’s more in this, I prithee speak to me as thinkings,/ As thou dost ruminate, and give thy worst thoughts/ The worst of words/ Good my lord, pardon me,/ Though I am bound to every act of duty/ I am not bound to that all slaves are free to,/ Utter my thoughts? why, say they are vile and false,/ As where’s that palace whereinto foul things/ Sometimes intrude not?

Othello let his insecurity blind him and lost sight of what was true to him. He was always a claim even in the worst time and when it hit him, he was unable to control it.
Othello’s Jealousy made him blind of what was true and his world collapsed on him. Why, why is this?/ Think’st thou I’d make a life of jealousy,/ To follow still the changes of the moon/ With fresh suspicions? No! To be once in doubt/ Is to be resolved. Exchange me for a goat/ When I shall turn the business of my soul/ To such exsufflicate and blowed surmises,/ Matching thy inference. ‘Tis not to make me jealous/ To say my wife is fair, feeds well, loves company, Is free of speech, sings, plays, and dances,/ Where virtue is, these are more virtuous/ Nor from mine own weak merits will I draw/ The smallest fear or doubt of her revolt,/ For she had eyes and chose me. No, Iago,/ I’ll see before i doubt, when i doubt, prove,/ And on the proof there is no more but this: Away at once with love or jealousy! (3.3.181-197). Othello’s blindness brought down his whole world and thinking about what happened to him and how he fall into Iago's manipulation. Now his thinking back and regretting that didn’t listen to his wife and all those people who was telling him the truth. At the
