Iago and a fellow soldier wait outside Desdemona’s father’s home, unaware she has fled with Othello; Iago tells his comrade—once hoping to marry Desdemona—that his loyalty serves his own ends.

In Cyprus, Iago schemes to convince Othello that Desdemona was unfaithful with Cassio, motivated by more than ambition.
