All the noise wakes Othello, who comes down to check out the commotion. He is furious at the lack of discipline and duty among his trusted men. Montano tells what he knows, and Iago fills in the rest making sure to invent his part of the story. Cassio is stripped of his rank.

Why, how now, ho! From whence ariseth this?
Are we turned Turks? And to ourselves do that
Which heaven hath forbid the Ottomites?
For Christian shame, put by this barbarous brawl. Ac 2 sc 3
