Othello, a soldier accustomed to regimented routines and practices, imposes a similar dictation on his married life. Although he is happy in battle and leading his people, being with his wife is where he feels happiest. The combination of being a military man and being a lover was intertwined in Othello's life, and once he began to become less involved in the army, he began to feel less confident in his relationship with Desdemona. Having discovered this weakness in Othello, Iago planned an epic revenge by spreading lies about Desdemona's infidelity. After countless occasions where Iago presents false evidence that Desdemona was having an affair, Othello begins to go completely mad. In his madness, Othello confronts Desdemona about what happened between her and Cassio.
