Answer: Iago unveils his plan to frame Desdemona, although he seems troubled by doing so.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the third scene of the second act, Iago unveils his plot to frame Desdemona. He plans to insinuate to the Moor that her taking Cassio’s side is a result of her lust for him. Although Iago has been portrayed as the villain of the play, here he seems to want to convince himself that his intentions are good, showing that he´s not as heartless as he seems.
