    • 8 Pages

    must be an outsider from humanity who somehow stands out from the seemingly equal community. In the case of Shakespeare’s Othello the outsider from humanity would be Iago for he truly stands out from the rest of society. Although Othello may be physically put out of the community‚ it seems that on an emotional and egotistical level Iago puts himself out of society further then Othello’s blackness does. He is not merely manipulative‚ as other villains are; he turns aspects of truth and good qualities

    Throughout most of Shakespeare’s plays‚ evil characters are not uncommon‚ but in my own opinion‚ Iago has to be one of – if not the most - interesting. Even though Iago might be described by some as being just "pure evil" or even "intolerable"‚ the truth still remains that people will read deeper into the play just to see what Iago will do next. Through his words and actions‚ which are carefully thought out‚ Iago is able to manipulate others for his personal benefit. Not only that‚ but he also manipulates

Auden suggests that all the dastardly deeds are of Iago’s doing‚ and that “everything he sets out to do‚ he accomplishes”. I personally agree with this stance‚ as well as Auden’s proclamation that Iago is a “triumphant villain”. To fully understand how Iago fits the role of the “triumphant villain‚” however‚ one must understand that there are two parts to this claim

This shows that he have little faith in his wife or using this as an excuse to hate Othello. He uses Desdemona kindness and innocent to create a trap for the other characters to fall into.
