I think one issue to address is how some people are fake friends. In Othello Iago showed me how you should really watch your friends close because they may not be a true friend. When I think of Iago i think of the quote "Keep yours friends close but your enemies closer." Also threw out the whole play I realized that the way Iago acted is how high school students are now. In high school everyone is going to run into that one fake friend that wants you to not do well. To summarize, Iago taught me to choose my friends wisely.
Another thing I was thinking is the same way Othello believed Iago about Desdemona is the same way the same situation would happen now a days. Usually the person is informed on some kind of social media that there boyfriend or girlfriend is cheating on them. And the they don't think to talk to them about it, they just believe what they are told. If Othello would have talked to Cassio and Desdemona together about the situation then maybe Desdemona wouldn't have been killed. I think we all have times when someone tells us something and it sounds so believable that we don't try to figure out the truth.
