Iago's love

In this essay you can find in details an analysis of a character Iago. This character has an important role in this tragedy drama of “Othello, the Moore of Venice”. Iago was an evil person but no one knows because he had a good appearance to all of the character. All this tragedy drama was around in how Iago can destroy all around him. The evil attitude to Othello, Desdemona and Roderigo was because he is in love to Desdemona but secretly. Iago make revenge to all this character before mentioned because don’t have the love of Desdemona and never will. I describe Iago like an unhappy, jealous and dissatisfied person. But all the tragedy or bad event was tied to Desdemona and in this essay I am going too proved with some argument that it is the real reason that has Iago to use the strategy that change possible happy ended of this drama.

First of all, Iago have inferiority complex in the society because he don’t have money, powerful, and a good relationship with his wife. Obviously he has a disadvantage to Othello and Rodrigo. Rodrigo have all the characteristic to attract the attention of Desdemona and this is the reason that Iago to hate Rodrigo. He has advantages economic benefit. At this time that took chauvinism and be a warrior it’s humiliating that be a rejected for a woman. If he doesn’t be happy anybody around him be happy. Othello have the love of Desdemona and have the position of General. Iago want the position of lieutenant but Othello gave to Cassio. Othello was a black person; we know this because in Act III scene III they said: “…To pray at fortune. Haply, for I am black…” and this is other reason that Iago was jealous to Othello. Because been a black person have the love of Desdemona how it’s beautiful and a white pretty woman. Iago difference with Rodrigo is that he doesn’t have money and Rodrigo have.

I have to defend my thesis was that Iago can’t love Emilia although that has married together. But this is not an impediment to love someone else. When he kills Emilia this is the way that we can prove that he don’t love her. He know that Emilia love him because she gave to him the Desdemona’s scarf and Emilia know that if she doing things like that to attract Iago attention can fix the relationship. Emilia obviously don’t love himself and less Desdemona. Why Emilia was jealous to Desdemona? Why she gave to her husband the Desdemona’s scarf? To possible theory: the first is because Desdemona was more pretty and have more lucky with man that her. And the other one was that Emilia notice that Iago was interesting in some relate to something about Desdemona and Othello. But she never think that her husband do this for her. At the end of the Drama when she reacted that Iago makes a many bad strategy to Othello and Desdemona, she react and want to tell the true. But was late and then he kill her. If you love someone, you are going to killed like a joke?

Why he need to beneficiate and swindle Rodrigo? Obviously that Iago was a smart person and know to do strategy because he was a warrior. But he do this with double propose: knowing all the constantly movement that he do with Desdemona and have easily money. Also Iago know that Roderigo was an insecure person and can take benefit about this. Iago was always was alert to Roderigo movement and advise to him. He need to be a”friend” because know what happen with Desdemona. Obviously Iago Know that at this moment Desdemona can’t pay attention to him. But can be her “pano de lagrimas” in the future.

Why Iago want to discredit Desdemona? Why Iago solve the difference only with Othello fighting like at this time? Why Iago involucrate Desdemona if is a work difference? The only reason is that Iago love Desdemona. Iago can kill Othello or paid someone to do this for him. This is the only reason for this drama tragedy. Now you have the same thought?
