Iago in Othello by William Shakespeare is a great villain. Iago is able to manipulate everyone in the play and use them for his own gain or sometimes just use them because he can.

We must obey the time” (Othello I.III.340). Othello cares deeply about Desdemona however he recognizes that his…

Racial tension can be noticed in both the play and the movie. Othello is a black man who is in the army and…
