Iago Character Analysis
Iago’s Character
I agree with the statement as his intention are sinister and pure evil. Iago reason with the audience saying he only doing this because Othello slept with his wife even though it is not confirmed, ‘I know not if’t be true’. This shows that he have little faith in his wife or using this as an excuse to hate Othello. He uses Desdemona kindness and innocent to create a trap for the other characters to fall into. Iago is using his jealousy and anger as an excuse to lash out evil. He is almost like searching for reasons in order to be able to hurt Othello, genuine or not.
Iago is manipulative and also very cunning however what led to his downfall is him underestimating others. He has a talent for understanding and manipulating people around him desires and that makes him both a powerful and a heavily admired character. Shakespeare display Iago as an evil character who’s willing to drag innocent character into his revenge- Roderigo, Desdemona and Emilia. Iago is able to hurt Othello deeply because he understands Othello so well and as the ply progress on seem to grow even closer to Othello as his revenge progresses. He frequently refers to Othello as the 'Moor´ this statement show …show more content…
He begins with a rhetorical question which make the audience really question if he really is the villain. Iago then later justifies himself by giving Cassio a 'good' advice as to how to win back his position and gain the favour of Othello. Iago says that he the ‘Divinity of Hell’ believing he is the devil. When he says ‘As I do now’ we finally understand why he think he the devil. Iago hid his evil intention behind a mask of innocent but when the time is right the mask drop and he strike just like the devil describe in religion. Around the 16th Century a lot of people are big about religion so this made them fear him yet admire him because he is able to manipulate everybody around
