Thoughts...

Act V was one of the most important acts, and I feel like it happened extremely fast. Cassio and Roderigo got in a fight, then the next scene is Othello standing over Desdemona getting ready to kill her V.i.80. I wish Shakespeare would have taken more time to draw up the loose ends and explain things more. It would have added more dramatic irony if Iago would have unraveled and the audience would get the other characters' reactions. I liked how Emilia was the one who figured everything out. She went from being just Iago's annoying wife to a major part of the play. Without her, Iago's plan most likely would've worked and the whole work would end differently.
