Iago
I just love how Iago says "Men should be what they seem, Or those that be not, would they might seem none!" basically saying that if a person (he is referencing Cassio) is not honest, that person should at least not even pretend to look honest. Where does this leave Iago? Is he self-aware? Does he see his comment as self deprecating?

I saw that too! It's very ironic. I believe he is self aware. I can just imagine that he's laughing at Othello in his mind for being so gullible. He's such a smooth liar.
ReplyDeleteIago's fake, and he definitely knows it. I guess you could say he's two-faced. It's just so frustrating to see Iago manipulating Othello/others.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder if Iago makes these types of statements with a wink to the audience!
