Othello - Shakespeare - the end!

"Myself will straight aboard, and to the state
This heavy act with heavy heart relate." (V.ii.370-371)

After I finished Othello, I was disappointed by how the ending didn't really get tied up. Iago never gives a true answer for why he did this. He was jealous of Cassio and Othello was supposedly having an affair with Emilia, but Cassio is fired and it was only a rumor about Emilia and Othello. Iago goes on with his plan, but there isn't ever a solid reason. Also, I wanted to know what happened to Iago. What will happen to him now that everyone knows? What happened to Bianca and Cassio? Most of all though, I wonder if Iago felt any kind of remorse for what he did.
