Iago is so repulsive a character, he so fills you with foreboding it is hard to read his lines.
Is Othello's isolation supposed to make it more believable to us that the greater and less plausible infidelity is more believable to him than the lesser, more plausible one?
That he should credit Desdemona's betrayal without so much as suspecting Iago's?
Yes, I think so.
By the way, are we supposed to believe Iago's wife has cuckolded him with the Moor, or only that he does, at least by half?
Though that's enough, I suppose.
