We can see here that Iago imagines that the heavens are witnessing this act because he says 'ever - burning lights above' , which means he was alluding to the heavens .

In William Shakespeare's play "Othello," Iago, one of the central antagonists, often engages in soliloquies where he reveals his inner thoughts and plans to the audience. During these moments, Iago shares his cunning schemes and manipulative intentions.

In Act 2, Scene 3 of "Othello," Iago manipulates Cassio into drinking excessively, knowing that Cassio's resulting behavior will damage his reputation. While Cassio becomes intoxicated and engages in a quarrel, Iago, in his soliloquy, mentions his speculation about who might be witnessing Cassio's unruly behavior.
