I think one key passage of Othello, Act 4, scene 1, appears on page 173 where Cassio first laughs at Iago's questioning him if he is planning on marrying Bianca. At this point of the story, Iago is attempting to convince Othello that Desdemona is entirely untrustable and doesn't deserve to live. When Cassio begins to talk down about Bianca, Othello's rage becomes uncontrollable and finally convinces him that Desdemona should be poisoned, and Cassio murdered. I think this sets up the ending of the book well and is arguably, a climax of the story.

"I really like how well you quickly analyzed, almsot debriefed your passage. Plus, I agree that the one you chose is very key to this section. (:"
