Cassio says of Iago, I never knew/ A Florentine more kind and honest.

The later, Desdemona says to Emelia about Iago, O, thats an honest fellow. These statements are ironic. Describe the irony seen in these lines. Compose an email to either person explaining what the truth really is. The irony in these lines is that Iago is evil and totally unloyal. He lies to just about everyone in order for his plot to fall into place. Dear Cassio, Iago is far from being a honest man. He is plotting to have Roderigo kill you so that he can take your job. Oh yeah, that night you were drunk and had a fight, he was the mastermind behind it all. Hes determined to ensure your downfall. Do not trust him.
