Allyssa Althaus Mrs. Wittman F Period 2/4/13 Deathly Manipulation There is no doubt that Iago is the most manipulative person in this drama‚ Othello. He even said so himself; "I am not what I am" (1.1.71) Iago only causes chaos and pain throughout the drama‚ and finds everyone’s weaknesses only to use it against them as seen through Cassio‚ Roderigo‚ and Othello.

Is Iago a master manipulator or just an opportunist? Iago‚ the Machiavellian of Othello is without doubt a master manipulator. Iago improves his reputation; destroys Othello; robs Roderigo and all without raising a finger. In fact‚ Othello insinuates with our beloved antagonist doing what he does best. We are presented with a spiteful Iago promising to destroy the moor “I follow him to serve my turn upon him.” And in act 3 scene 3‚ Othello does just that. In an adaptation of Othello‚ Director Nicolas

While Poison Ivy takes its basic plot from Othello‚ it draws its influences from a variety of teen comedies‚ such as Mean Girls. I chose to change Othello into a modern day high school dramedy with gender-swapped characters because the themes in the play easily transfer to issues teenage girls deal with in today’s society. As Mean Girls shows‚ teenage girls often fight with words and rumors rather than with violence‚ and that is exactly what Iago does in the play. Unlike many of Shakespeare’s

Sin has an inevitable and unavoidable presence in all men.
