    This quote explains why would Desdemona, a beautiful woman, fall in love with Othello who is black? Successfully, he manipulated Othello that Desdemona will snap back to her natural taste in men one day, and compare Othello unfavourably to other men in Venice.

    Iago hides his intention behind his language, loyalty, and humor. He uses vague and unclear language, filled with flattery and lies to manipulate Othello into doing what he desires. Iago subtly hints to his true evil motive of chaos through his soliloquies and dialogue with the other characters. He confesses to Roderigo that “in following [Othello], [he] [follows] but [himself]” (I.I.60); that he merely pretends to be loyal in order to take advantage of Othello’s weakness. Despite admitting such thing, Roderigo continues to put his trust in him.…

    In Othello, Shakespeare does not give any serious motivation for Iago to influence Othello in such a negative way. Iago goes above and beyond to destroy Othello. He constantly feeds him lies and sets up multiple situations that present a false reality. For example, in act three scene three, Iago has his wife, Emilia, steal the handkerchief that Othello gave to Desdemona and later gives it to Cassio. Othello seeing Cassio with the handkerchief confirms in his mind the lie that Desdemona is being unfaithful to him with Cassio.…

    The Brain Network of Serial Killers and Psychopaths A Serial Murder Symposium was held where all the attendees discussed and agreed that there was no generic profile of a serial murderer. How a serial killer commits a crime depends on a lot of different aspects including motivation, his behaviour, how he was raised and what circumstances he had faced in childhood. How are they identified and arrested? A police officer should be trained, how exactly to decipher one from another? The Behavioural Analysis Unit of the FBI came up with a Monograph for a Multi-Disciplinary Perspective for Investigators.…

    Iago manipulates Othello by using his biggest weakness--insecurity. Though Iago is a vile man, he is referred to as “honest Iago” throughout the play. Iago’s cunning ways allow him to carry out his plans using characters without their awareness of what he ultimately desires. It all starts in the streets, where Iago wants Roderigo to rile up Othello’s…

    In his most grateful tone, “I am your own forever”(3.3.480). This phrase says Othello somewhat owns Iago, and it sounds like a wedding vow or a promise to always love him, furthering the question of whether Iago is gay. Richard Hornby states the hardest problem for modern actors when playing Iago is to choose of what sexuality he is and what his true motivation is, “Iago’s motivation was to make him gay, in love with Othello”. Shakespeare brings to light the possibility that Iago’s motivation for the plan was the idea of being closer to…

    What is more interesting is classifying Iago as the anti-hero of the story, and not the villain. While he does fit the role of many antagonists, he has a disturbing accumulation of anti-hero qualities that are overlooked. Iago, while his deeds are impure, can be viewed sympathetically. Just because Othello and Iago 's visions do not align, it does not make Iago evil.…

    In Shakespeare’s play Othello, the character Iago is a psychopath. This can be determined by the number of characteristics he shares with those who are clinically defined as psychopaths. Firstly, Iago is extremely manipulative, finding every way possible to use and twist people to his own advantage. He is also very selfish-helping and caring only about himself. Most importantly, Iago’s aptitude for insincere speech is his main asset, as he craftily uses it in every situation.…

    Iago always acts as Othello support and abuse him with his honesty words. As his trusty nature, Othello never doubts about Iago's loyalty since he was so helpful and truthful. Not just him but everybody in the play view Iago as an honest man. As such, this gives Iago the opportunity to strike lies, since everything he said was believed to be the truth, Iago said, "Make the Moor thank me, love me, and reward me for making him egregiously an ass and practicing upon his peace and quiet even to madness." (II.1.330-334) This quote shows that Iago uses his honest side as a net for Othello's trust and he will use that trust against Othello himself as revenge on his position and rumors about Othello sleeps with his wife.…

    “Oh, beware, my lord, of jealousy!/It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock/ The meat it feeds on.” (3.3.170-172). Such are the wise words of the famous villain, Iago, found in William Shakespeare’s Othello.

    Machiavellian villains are notorious for preying upon their victims until they accomplish their goal. In Othello, William Shakespeare uses Iago’s manipulation of Othello as an example of what Machiavellian villains do to their victims. Iago is a classic example of a Machiavellian villain, as he continues to manipulate Othello and turn him against his friends. Ultimately Iago is able to turn him against his wife, at which point Othello turns on himself by committing suicide. As presented in Othello, Machiavellian villains are a far more dangerous foe than someone who uses physical violence because they are able to destroy the lives of multiple people simultaneously and turn their victims against themselves.…

    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,”…

    Lady Macbeth’s is stated outright, that she is doing it to gain power for herself and her husband, so she must convince her husband to be a man and kill the king. Iago’s motivation is twofold, go get revenge on Othello for not making him his lieutenant and for the rumors that his wife Emilia had slept with Othello. However, there is more to it than that. Perhaps Iago felt slighted by the fact that Othello was an outsider and a Moor, but still more important than him, or even just the fact that Othello was a Moor. Iago could have been a truly hateful, racist character.…
