    Motive In Othello

    During the initial class reading and study of William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy “Othello” I thought that the clear motive for Iago stemmed from his jealousy that he felt towards Michael Cassio and that he resented the general Othello for appointing Cassio over him. However, after studying and analysing several different critical analysis’ of “Othello” I came to the conclusion that the real motive for Iago is actually one of the more debated topics in all of literature. And as such have chosen the hypothesis that Iago’s true motive is a ruthlessly debated topic, with the consensus opinion of his motive often changing with the time period. I studied 4 main critics, these being Leslie Y. Rabkin & Jeffrey Brown (1973), William Maginn (1839),…

    Roderigo, on the other hand, has been rejected as Desdemona’s suitor on many occasions only to find out the “Moor” has stolen her. By introducing Iago’s seething hatred of Othello to Roderigo, Shakespeare immediately forms an antibiosis relationship—one where Iago benefits—between the two characters. Roderigo is willing and eagerly inclined to find an unbalanced camaraderie with Iago, as Iago manipulates him throughout the play. The pinnacle of their conversation revolves around Othello electing another man,…

    It is clear to see that Iago is the villain of Shakespeare’s play “Othello.” He is a disloyal friend to Roderigo, he treats his wife as is she is a serve to him, and lied to his army leader to the extent that Othello went and killed his own wife. Without Iago’s villainy in this play, the reader can look at it as if there would be no plot at all. The whole story that he made up about Cassio and Desdemona’s affair, there would be revenge to Othello because he gave the job to a less deserving Michael Cassio, and Roderigo would be way better off without his “friend” telling him to give all of his money to his “friend” would have never happened without the true villainy of the antagonist of “Othello,”…

    Iago’s evil nature In the story of Othello, we meet many astonishing characters, but there seems to be one character that stands out amongst them all; Iago. Iago is William Shakespeare’s most wicked villain throughout the entire play. Shakespeare uses rhetoric of identity early on when introducing Iago by the “I am not what I am” speech (Act 1, scene 1), perhaps foreshadowing his true personality (Sleczkowski). Iago is the whole reason why there is any conflict in Othello.…
