hmmm... i wonder who the face in the background is supposed to be? maybe it's Iago watching his murderous plan played out?? or maybe its Cassio??

i don't think its Cassio in the background. I believe its Iago. The face in the backround has green colored skin, a color that is associated with Iago because of his jealousy. Also, Othello's skin color is a bright blood red, a color that is usually associated with uncontrolled passion which is an important trait of Othello's (his passionate love for Desdemona) or something like that.

Yeah, it's probably Iago watching his plot unfold

i wonder if there is any reason his face is red because he is a black man, maybe the painter was a racist.

I think its Iago in the background too. he is watching his plan follow through step by step. i think that othello is red because of his anger. in class we talked about passion being hot. a color associated with heat is red. instead of being full of passionate love, he is full of passionate anger and jealousy
