By the use of the techniques of antithesis, imagery and symbolism, Shakespeare illustrates Othello's mental state.
Here is the principle character Othello, so beside himself, that all the instincts such a leader of men would be expected to possess, appear to have deserted him. He appears unable to see how Iago is manipulating him, and indeed, looks to his council.

Othello. 'This fellow's of exceeding honesty,
And knows all quantities with a learned spirit
Of human dealings.'
