An unfinished play?

At the end of III, 3 Othello demands and receives Iago's promise to kill Cassio, resolved himself to murder Desdemona.

But then Iago spends another act trying to convince the Moor, and we watch Othello struggle to resolve himself.

Iago does not finally attempt to dispose of Cassio until the start of act five, and still Othello delays his part.

Reading Othello.
