Othello

After talking today in class, I find a lot of the advice Iago gives to people to be ironic. He tells Othello not to be jealous, but Iago himself is jealous of Othello. He also tells Othello to not believe that Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio because he has no proof, but in on of his asides Iago tells us that he believes the Moor is having an affair with Emilia and he has no proof to back it up. I can't tell if he is intentionally being a hypocrite and it's all apart of the master plan or if it's just coincidence.
