What does iago think of othello

I also want to point out that Othello makes a huge switch from being defensive on page to then giving into what Iago is saying on pages , and He has so much anger towards Cassio, there is no turning back for Othello. The amount of time Iago spends to make Othello fall for his plan shows how bad he wanted his plan to work and how the more time he spent talking to Othello filling his mind with lies and answering all his thoughts gives Iago more of a chance at Othello believing him.

Iago even acts as if he is trying to calm Othello down because of all the hate he has towards Cassio after Iago shares the evidence with him in the middle of page Iago is an evil manipulator that uses his loving words and conveys his love for Othello as a powerful technique to sway Othello in believing everything.

All in all, Iago has caused a lot of damage towards Othello, Desdemona and Cassio. I believe that at the end of this scene he did a successful job in making Othello fall for his plan! Jackie, I definitely agree that Iago knows how to work each character and make them tick.

It is sad how Othello truly believes Iago and thinks of him as a friend, while Iago is only thinking about himself and basically stabs Othello in the back. Why does Othello go to Cyprus?

The great nineteenth-century actor Booth wrote about playing Iago: "To portray Iago properly you must seem to be what all the characters think, and say, you are, not what the spectators know you to be; try to win even them by your sincerity. Don't act the villain, don't look it, or speak it, by scowling and growling, I mean , but think it all the time. Be genial, sometimes jovial, always gentlemanly.
