Iago Character Analysis

Iago is a cunning character and the antagonist of Othello. He is the force that works against Othello, and since Othello desperately trusts Iago, he is all the more dangerous. He is extremely smart and plans out things very well. He is like a master puppeteer in the way he controls the people around him. He can lie and sway someone to anger, and they will have no clue of his deeds. He also has no loyalty to anyone, even his wife. He had used his wife, and then killed her, which shows how untruthful he is. It seems as if there are strings attached to each character's bodies that connect them all to Iago's manipulating hands.
