Some prison terms there are people who are so evil and deceitful one can just feel dirty. audition to them talk, hearing their words, and seeing their actions just makes ones skin crawl. During the interpret and the viewing of Othello it doesnt take long to get this feeling closely Iago. He is such manipulative, self-serving, and dishonest person making it obvious he would be a man with a personality disorder. A narcissist is one who is only concerned about ones self, manipulative, and leave behind use anyone to get what they want. There is no doubt that Iago is the destructive baddie in this play. Without Iagos horrible traits and conniving actions this play would be very boring. He has been considered one of the most villainous characters of all time.

Iago is quick to adduce his hatred for Othello (1.3.365).Iagos ego has been hurt by Othello claiming Cassio as his surrogate and passing up Iago. Iago feels that he has way more experience in battle than Cassio and just pretends to serve Othello until he can get his retaliation (1.1.10-40). Iago mentions later that Othello slept with his wife, Emilia And it is thought abroad that twixt my sheets hes do my office (1.3.366-367). Roderigo is the first person to fall to his deceitful ways. Iagos trickery get Rodergio to trust him with his with his money Rodergio says, That thou, Iago, who hast had my purse as if the strings were tap. Iago states, Put money in thy purse (1.3.328) so that he world power be able to win Desdemonas love with gifts Iago will sully her. But the dishonest invent is here because he plans on retentivity that money for himself. It is amazing to watch how quick and smart Iago can be with the other characters. He is able to quickly tak e a post and find a way to use others as pawns to work his plan out. He is words and actions are so manipulative putting thoughts in others heads in order for them to assist him in his master plan.
