Answer:

If you say that someone is playing with fire, you mean that they are doing something dangerous that may result in great harm for them and cause many problems.

When fire was the exclusive property of the gods, it symbolized the divine power to make the world do what you wanted it to do. When you think about it, that's pretty major. So Prometheus decided to make man stand upright as the gods did and to give them fire. He was attempting to manipulate something very dangerous, the gods. it was like he was "playing with fire"

Othello

goblinko [34]

Answer: Othello thought that Cassio is talking about Desdemona.

Explanation:

In Othello, Iago pretends to be Othello's friend, but plots against him. Iago is angry at him because Othello passed him over for a promotion with Cassio. Iago's plan is to make Othello think that Desdemona is unfaithful to him with Cassio, and thus destroy both his love life and his friendship with Cassio.

In Act IV, Scene I, Iago decides to put this plan into action. He reveals to the audience that he will talk to Cassio about his relationship with Bianca, so that Othello thinks that they are talking about Desdemona. He succeeds in this plan - Othello overhears their conversation and believes what he hears.
