Willie Ho

As I continued reading Othello, I realized how much hate I had for the character Iago! He is so evil and clever and it is so unfair! All he does is plot and plot about how he will do this and that. He took the simple gesture of Cassio taking Desdemona's hand as a reason to try and rid Cassio of his lieutenant status. As if that were not bad enough, he started the whole commotion with Montano, Roderigo, and Cassio ending with a wound to Montano. Then he ruins Othello's image of Desdemona when he convinced him that Desdemona is in some sort of relationship with Cassio.

Iago is like a snake. He is very stealthy and he knows what he is doing. This makes him very dangerous- much like a snake. He knows how to manipulate people's words and abuse the weaknesses that people have. I would like to see Iago perish sometime in this play.
