Find explanation below.

Explanation:

In the book 'Othello', by William Shakespeare we come across several interesting characters. The first was Othello, a general, Lago, a soldier, Cassio, a loyal captain to Othello, Desdemona, Othello's wife.

In the play, Lago was a deceitful and cunning soldier who tried to usurp the position of Othello as general. To achieve his aim he tried to take advantage of Cassio's good nature. Cassio was courteous with women. On observing his good relationship with Desdemona, Othello's wife, he subtly accused him of having an affair with her. He once talked about Desdemona 'paddling Cassio's hand'. He also tried to make others see things in the same way.

Cassio is not to blame because he did not have any ulterior motive. Lago simply took advantage of his goodness and tried implicating him in his evil plot.
