What is Iago's ultimate plan? I know he's an agent of chaos and wants to ruin Othello's happiness, but does he ultimately want to end Othello's life? Does he want Othello's position? Or does he have no real plan at all and just wants to be a sadist?
The Joker says, "Do I look like someone who has a plan?" One of the traits of a Machiavel is that he works from a master plan? Let me change your question: What is Iago's GOAL? Just asking?
I think Iago's goal has changed. He no longer is destroying the lives of the people around him to get revenge on Othello but for entertainment. Iago has stopped justifying his actions because he has no justification except that he likes to be the one running the show.
I believe we said this in class today; it was "the ends justify the means." Iago is still trying to achieve his goal, but he is modifying his plan in the process. I don't think he cares how many lives he ruins in the process because he'll ultimately fulfill his goal.
