Othello Post 2.

Othello: The Moor of Venice by William Shakespeare.

Act II. Scenes i. ii.

In this section of reading, we learn about more of Iago's stunningly hideous personality. His conversations with Cassio, Desdemona, and Emilia reveal his intentions and reasoning behind some of his actions.

Moreover, we learn that Iago is a jerk. In his conversations with Emilia and Desdemona, it seems that Iago has a deep seeded hatred for the idea that women have any authority. His remarks reveal his sexism toward against women. One of his remarks essentially says that women should do nothing more than make babies and do house chores.

"To suckle fools and chronicle small beer" (II. i. 159).

While Iago demonstrates the classic signs of a sociopath, and he, along with everybody else, is a racist against Othello, that alone does not justify him being the most evil villain ever. I still need to be convinced of his evil doings. I can say that thus far, the fact that people call him Honest Iago is nothing short of a foolish miracle. There is nothing honest about this guy. Still not as evil as the guy that throws the Tetris pieces.
