We have all been at Cyprus for a little while and I have been trying to stay positive about Desdemona. Hearing about Desdemona’s love for Cassio was hard. I have been wanting to impress her. I was quite lucky that I was not more severely injured after starting the fight with Cassio. I am glad that Iago’s plan is working out well. Iago has been trying to keep my hopes up. He suggested that I spend a good deal of my money on the most beautiful and expensive jewels crusadoes can buy! He even said that he would deliver them for me, and that he would speak to Desdemona on my behalf. I just went out and got them today and it may have cost me most of my life savings, but I think it is well worth it! I am sure she will love them, although nothing could compare to her beauty...
...It has been a while and I still haven’t heard much from Iago. The only thing he has told me is to keep sending more jewels because Desdemona loves them. My heart rejoices at the thought of being in her favor. I sure hope she comes and visits me soon...
...It’s a little disappointing that Desdemona still hasn’t come to see me yet, even though Iago continues to tell me of how happy and wonderful my presents make her feel. I really thought that if she was that happy about them she would approach me herself...
...This is ridiculous! Why has Desdemona continued to ignore me even after I have sent her such great gifts? Iago keeps encouraging me to stay hopeful but Desdemona seems to think I am a fool! I will go at once to talk to Iago about the lack of results; I have to do something about this! “I will indeed no longer endure it; nor am I yet/ persuaded to put up in peace what already I have/ foolishly suffered.” (4.2.178-180)
