Othello

This past week we read the 2nd and 3rd acts of Othello. I find the character of Iago to be very interesting, due to his relentless scheming and overall evilness. It's interesting how Othello manages to trust Iago, though, even over his own wife. Othello has a very trusting nature, but when it comes time to trust the one person he should, over everyone else, he fails to and i think it is this that proves to be his downfall. I also feel that Othello is quick to action in some cases, like the punishment of Cassio, and it is also this that helps his downfall.
