 Studying Othello. Here's how you can analyze that 3C2. The scene opens in the stage direction showing that Othello, Iago and some gentlemen are speaking of affairs of the stage. We can already see that Iago is starting to have a bit more influence over Othello. Othello speaks using this imperative sentence basically asking Iago to deliver a letter back to the person that's going to Venice in order to deliver news to the Senate as well as the Duke. Othello speaks using literation to say that he's then gonna go and inspect what's happening on the works. Iago acts extremely obedient and he speaks using the sentence to say that he's gonna do exactly what Othello commanded. Othello then turns to the gentleman accompanying them and he asks this question. In other words, he asks to go and inspect the fortification of Cyprus. We can see here that Othello is a real statesman and he's able to get the job done.
