    Iago Evil In Othello

    • 1237 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Fred West describes Iago as motiveless person who is entirely unconcerned with the moral consequences of choice. His ability to switch between both truth and lies without a second thought proves that Iago is a psychopath and the society in ‘Othello’ is full of good which is why Iago’s evil stands out so vividly. West described Iago as “a character with no motives to do with either fact so logic” who “saw truth and lies as one thing” and had no problem using his own misconception to his advantage

    Iago the Master Villain In the play Othello by William Shakespeare the character Iago is a brilliantly devised character.

    First Impression of Iago

    • 2 Pages

    My first impression of Iago is that he’s a manipulative and hypocritical man who tries to make up for the lack of success and happiness in his life by destroying that of others. In Iago’s first appearance in the play‚ he’s seen manipulating the wealthy but foolish Roderigo into giving him money. He claims to be taking this money to buy extravagant gifts to woo Desdemona on Roderigo’s behalf‚ but he keeps the money for himself. “Iago‚ who hast had [Roderigo’s] purse/ As if the strings were [his]”

    which made him believe his only punishment was death. In the end‚ Iago succeeded in ruining Othello’s life. Iago is the character that made the lies and slowly but surely plotted. Everyone in town knows that Iago is honest. Therefore‚ Othello has no real reason to doubt Othello. “Iago is most honest” (2.3.7) when in reality Iago can’t stand the thought of Othello being happy. This is the most ironic part in the play to me because Iago is the least honest man in the whole play. “the moor is of a free

    In the play Othello‚ our first impression suggests that Iago and Othello are portrayed as having somewhat opposite qualities. Iago is first shown to be false and pretentious. Even though he says "I will wear my heart upon my sleeve"‚ giving the impression that he shows all his emotions willingly‚ he is then shown to be quite secretive and deceitful‚ plotting against Othello‚ Casio and Rodriguo‚ emphasising his ambitious nature. Furthermore we get the impression that he is spiteful and racist‚ building

    and poor behavioral self worth. I have read Othello‚ by Shakespeare‚ and I believe Iago is a psychopath. There is proof he has a lack of remorse and guilt. Although Shakespeare has never stated that Iago is a psychopath‚ quotes and evidence lead to him being one. I have also read articles with important information‚ and evidence that shows how Iago acts like a psychopath. Shakespeare has never stated that Iago is a psychopath. I believe the reason why is because Shakespeare felt like he did not

    also from his misogyny. It seems that Iago truly hates women because‚ despite using them to seek revenge on Cassio and Othello‚ he repeatedly expresses his disgust toward them. For example‚ when referring to his own wife‚ he says that: “She puts her tongue a little in her heart / And chides with thinking” (II.i.105-106). The ultimate display of Iago’s contempt toward women is when he leads Emilia’s and Desdemona’ husbands to murder them. For these reasons‚ Iago is definitely the only person to blame
