Above all, at the crux of the play, it is Othello who ultimately determines the outcome of his raging jealousy. But his anger towards Desdemona and Cassio leaves him no choice but to continue his plan. Othello demands that he "show me" (3.3.364) "or woe betide your life!" (3.3.366) and this expresses his emotions, such as his love for Desdemona. Also, when Othello says "when I don't love you" (3.3.91) "the chaos is back" (3.3.92), it can be seen how Othello feels about his insecurity due to his race. Iago uses Othello's expression position of "stranger from here and everywhere" (1.1.136-137) to exploit his insecurities he says that "in Venice they show God the jokes" (3.3.202) "they dare not show them to their husbands" (3.3.203). Since Othello is not Venetian, he cannot defend himself from this accusation from his wife, so the jealousy could be a consequence of the insecurity he feels, but also caused by Iago who takes advantage of it
