Othello Acts I and II

As I read Othello, I found it to be one of those plays that I just wanted to intervene and set everything straight. First off, the character Iago (obviously the antagonist), is so deceptive and conniving; he just uses the characters to make situations play out in his favor. He would pretend to be one type of person with one character and completely switch his words and personality with another character; playing each and every one of them for fools. He seems to be trying to bring Othello down, but Othello is oblivious to this plan. Secondly, Othello is portrayed as this naïve character that seems to trust Iago. So far, the play follows the characters through this conflict and Iago’s plot of Othello’s demise.
