Othello, a General in the Venetian army, promotes a young officer, Michael Cassio, enraging Iago—the General's ensign—who expected the post himself. Outwardly loyal to Othello and his recently married wife, Desdemona, Iago proceeds to cause dissension within Othello's camp (for instance, tuning Othello's new father-in-law against him, and causing Cassio to fight another officer).

Othello makes Iago his Lieutenant in Act III, scene iii, line 478 ("Now art thou my Lieutenant.") Iago continues his plan to bring Othello down, so clearly the promotion is not the primary reason for his hatred. Furthermore, Iago says in soliloquy, "I hate the Moor, / And it is thought abroad that 'twixt my sheets / He has done my office."
