Cassio taking Desdemonas hand
The first bit of fuel for Iago's plan. The description of the post is an aside from Iago. This is significant because it shows Iago intensions and how he will abuse Desdemona and Cassio's relationship for his own greed. This is a harmless act that through Iago's manipulation has become something sinful in Othello's mind. This is also a key aspect in the argument that Desdemona caused her own downfall.
