The truth about Cassio in Othello | Top grade character analysis

Michael Cassio is the suave, handsome lieutenant who gets framed by Iago for being Desdemona's lover in the play 'Othello', and is the only main character who survives at the end. He seems like a genuinely decent man who's both loyal and devoted, if not a tad bit naive. But is there more to Cassio than meets the eye? In this video, I offer a deep dive into his characterisation, and look at how Cassio's relationships with Othello, Iago and Bianca shed light on his role in the play.
