Iago hates Othello because, in his opinion, his master didn’t appreciate his capabilities having given the place of lieutenant to Cassio instead of him. Iago fed his loathing with an assumption that Othello once slept with his wife, Emilia, that was not true; and whether Iago really believed that or not remained unclear. All in, whatever Iago’s reasons were, his misanthropy turned out to be stronger than the love of two people and led to their death. He managed to poison Othello’s mind against Desdemona having persuaded him that Desdemona had an affair with Cassio.

Othello’s prejudices and his unsettled state came to the top and led him to the bitter end. He followed his sinister affections, which took over the love to his wife, and killed Desdemona punishing her for something that she had never done. Being unable to get over his guilt Othello committed suicide at the end of this powerful tragedy. This, he never found his happiness and home in Venice, though it seemed
