"So/ shall you have a shorter journey to your desires by/ the means I shall then have to prefer them; and the/ impediment most profitably removed without the/ which there were no expectation of our prosperity/"(2.1.276-280)
This quote is significant in my opinion because here we see Iago's true ability to persuade and play people into doing the things he wants. Here Iago is telling Roderigo that he must destroy Cassio or else he is going to be hopeless. Since act 1 we have seen Iago sneakily playing people into his plans in thought that they will also benefit from it. I also believe that based on the play so far that Iago would in fact make a better second in command than Cassio due to his intelligence and experience.
How might the puppeteer's (Iago's) "show" go too far?
