This is a rather short and chaotic scene, and one thing that adds to the chaos is...

• It happens at night, so it's easier for Iago to hide his identity.

• It happens during a storm, so no one can hear what other people are saying.

• It happens during Othello's birthday, so most people are inside eating cake.

• It happens after Bianca was killed, so the characters are still distracted by her death.
