Othello 2.1.

"Till I am evened with him, wife for wife." (40)

This means that Iago obviously believes that Othello slept with his wife Emilia. Out of anger and jealousy, Iago wants Desdemona to cheat on Othello. This and the anger of not becoming Othello's second in command fuel his anger and cause him to come up with this whole scheme.

Where did Iago come up with the thought of Othello and Emilia?
