 Studying Othello? Here's how you can analyse that to your scene one. The scene opens in Cyprus and the Cypriot governor speaks using personification as he looks out at sea and he sees a wind and a storm raging. He speaks using Ascendants of E to state that he doesn't think the Turkish fleet made it. The storm and the terrible weather has likely destroyed their ships. We then learned that Cassius' ship is the first to arrive from Venice. Soon after the state directions show us that the ship that Desdemona, as well as these other people are on, arrived safely and Cassius speaks using these exclamatory sentences to show he's really happy that they've arrived safely. As they're waiting for Othello's ship to arrive, these state directions show Cassius greeting Emilia, Iago's wife, by kissing her on her hand like a true gentleman. As they wait, Iago banters with Desdemona and Emilia. He speaks using Iambit Mentameter to show the very pessimistic view on women that if they are beautiful and witty, they will use their beauty for their own selfish gain. Desdemona finds his sexist views both hilarious and silly and she asks Cassius this question in a bantering way and Cassius responds using sibilance to say that Iago's reasoning is a little bit silly. We can see that they have a really good relationship, they respect each other, however they also get on really well. Iago then privately takes note of this. These stage directions, as well as the use of this as you're a show, that Iago starts plotting on how he can use their friendship against them. He speaks using this metaphor to say that he's going to use Cassius and Desdemona's friendship against them and this is going to be his way of making Cassius be fired from his job. He speaks using exclamatory sentences as he notices Cassius' gentlemanly behaviour towards Desdemona. He begins to think of how he can use this to try and make them out to be having an affair. Othello then arrives triumphantly. He speaks using this hyperbole to show that he is overjoyed to see Desdemona again. As he watches Desdemona and Othello, Iago contemptuously turns to the audience and he speaks in this exclamatory sentence to say that he's going to turn their happiness into sadness. When everybody leaves and Iago is left with Rodrigo, he lies to him and tells him that he believes Desdemona is in love with Cassius. Iago then speaks using this rhetorical question to say that Desdemona, after a while, will become bored and tired of Othello. He then argues that Cassius, who is much younger than Othello, will grab Desdemona's attention and she will start having an affair with him. Iago then convinces Rodrigo that both Desdemona and Cassius were flirting before Othello arrived. He convinces Rodrigo that Cassius is his enemy and he speaks in this imperative sentence telling Rodrigo to figure out a way to start a fight with Cassius so that he's fired from his position. Rodrigo then felucius agrees to start a fight with Cassius if this is going to give him more of a chance to win Desdemona's heart. Then when Rodrigo leaves, Iago plots to inform Othello of the fight between Cassius and Rodrigo so that he's going to look even better in Othello's eyes.
