Othello: Act 5

Question 1

What is the summary of Act 5 Othello?

Answer 1

Iago and Rodrigo wait for Cassio as he leaves Bianca’s apartment.
Rodrigo attacks him, but his sword doesn’t pierce Cassio’s coat.
Cassio stabs Rodergio and Iago comes from behind and stabs Cassio in the leg and runs away.
Rodergio and Cassio are yelling in pain, so lorovico and gratiano comes there way.
Iago acts like he’s responding to these cries for help as well.
And he stabs Rodergio and kills him
Othello tells Desdemona to pray and prepare for her death, and refuses to listen to her when she says that she hasn’t done anything.
Then he smuthers her with a pillow.
Emilia comes in to tell Othello about the attack on Cassio and sees Desdemona.
Othello admits he kills her, even though she wakes up for a moment and claims she killed herself.
Emilia argues wether Desdemona cheated on him and Othello said it was her husband Iago who told him.
Lorovico, gratiano, and Iago, come in.
Emilia accuses Iago of making the whole thing up.
The story comes out and Emilia says she stole the handkerchief and gave it to Iago because he told her too.
Iago stabs Emilia and kills her, then runs away.
The other men arrest Othello and run after Iago to catch him, eventually bringing him back.
Othello stabs himself with the weapon he’d been concealing and kills himself, and Iago is taken away to be tortuered, while Cassio becomes governor.
