In this act Desdemona desperately tries to help Cassio regain his position. Meanwhile Emilia, Iago's wife finds the lost handkerchief of Desdemona but hands it over to Iago (I would do the same he seems like a wife beater) who says he has better use for it. Iago wants to make Othello jealous of Cassio by implying that Desdemona is having an affair with him. First he makes Desdemona and Cassio meet when Othello is around and then he wants to place the handkerchief in Cassio's lodgings so it would seem that Desdemona was there. Iago and Othello talk about Cassio and Desdemona and about her honesty and chastity which offends Othello but also plants a seed of suspicion in him.

Iago "Othello"
Act II Scene iii
In this scene Iago, we see Iago as he really is a conniving and manipulating man. He purposely gets Cassio drunk by inviting soldiers to drink with them and pressure Cassio into drinking. After Iago sings alehouse songs a fight ensues between Cassio and the soldiers, leading to Othello finding Cassio completely drunk and fighting. Othello then fires Cassio and Iago gains Othello's trust.
