After reading act three, I didn't get the clown part. I know it probably isn't important. One thing that is really bothering me is that everyone is doing things that make Iago's task easier.
Desdemona keeps nagging Othello about Cassio being reinstated and Cassio makes a secret meeting with Desdemona, and when Othello shows up, he storms out. If Cassio just went home and Desdemona just stopped talking, everything would be okay.
We will talk about the role of the clown. You're right; all of Iago's plans could come tumbling down if people would either quit talking or start talking to one another and not Iago!
