Why does Iago stab Roderigo in Shakespeare's Othello?
Iago has been systematically conning Roderigo out of his money, saying that he is using it to try to get Desdemona to dump Othello and go for Roderigo instead. Iago knows that Desdemona will never do this, and has been simply pocketing the money. Roderigo is starting to catch on, so Iago feeds him the same line about Cassio and Desdemona having an affair and sets Roderigo on to murder Cassio. His objective is to get rid of both of them. Roderigo does stab Cassio, who Iago takes for dead, so Iago kills Roderigo himself.

So he can keep on cheating him out of his money. As long as Roderigo is prepared to pay Iago to pay court to Desdemona, Iago will keep on pocketing the money and persuading him to pay more. It is only when Roderigo says he will go to Desdemona and demand his cash back that Iago takes action.
