I’ll send her to you presently;
And I’ll devise a mean to draw the Moor
Out of the way, that your converse and business
May be more free.
– William Shakespeare
Othello, Act 3, Scene 1. Iago promises Cassio that he will get Othello out of the way so that Cassio can speak privately with Desdemona. While appearing to help Cassio get his job back, he is in reality manipulating him to make it seem that there is a romantic relationship between Cassio and Desdemona.
