"[Othello:] Get me some poison, Iago, this night. I'll not expostulate with her, lest her body and beauty unprovide my mind again. This night, Iago. [Iago:] Do it not with poison. Strangle her in her bed, even the bed she hath contaminated" (179).
In this quote it appears as though all Iago's plans are beginning to wrap up and come to fulfillment. Specifically he has Othello so wrapped up in jealousy that he honestly believes that a women who loves him would and did cheat on him. Also Shakespeare here decided to include foreshadowing in how Desdemona is killed. This adds a lot of suspense to an already suspenseful play and leaves us wondering if he'll actually do it.
