In the case of Shakespeare’s Othello the outsider from humanity would be Iago for he truly stands out from the rest of society.

    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.

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

    The Triumphant Villain of Iago In analysis of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy of “Othello‚” famed 20th century literary critic W.H. 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
