Iago has many reasons for acting the way he does, his reasons may not be right or logical but he believes in them so strongly that he is willing to kill and destroy peoples lives in the process of completing them. His entire motives stem from one thing, jealousy, all of Iago´s motives are due to this single feeling. His revenge comes from wanting to avenge the people he is jealous of. He seems to elaborate on these initial ideas until he things that every body has slept with his wife, for this he wants further revenge. In his quest for revenge he uses Roderigo for money and the strangest reason of all, he seems to enjoy what he is doing.

During the play Iago uses carefully thought out word and actions, which enable him to manipulate others and do things in a way which benefit him and move closer towards his goals. An example of this is at the start of the play, where we see the manipulative, cheating and lying side of Iago. The reason for this is financial gain, from Roderigo. Roderigo loves Desdemona and Iago knows that he would do anything for her. Iago has cheated on his

The role he plays is in a way is unique and complex. He is smart which is more than we expect, he is an expert judge and knows people very well and uses this as an advantage. For example in Act one scene 3 he has a conversation with Roderigo. Roderigo says he wants to kill himself, because he is in love with Desdemona to much. Iago manages to persuade him out of it example he knows that Roderigo is in love with Desdemona and know he would do anything to have her. Iago says to Roderigo "thus do I ever make my fool my purse" by playing with his hopes he is able to swindle money and jewels from him, this is revealed when Roderigo has left and Iago talks in soliloquy. (One of the teqnique used to reveal Iago´s true character). Iago then goes on to explain a plan, he says that after a while he will say to Othello that Cassio has been spending a lot of time with Desdemona, hopefully this will make Othello jealous, and his plan would have worked.

Iago then starts to stir trouble by telling Cassio that Othello is married, but not who to. Iago´s plan then starts to work as Brabantio then enters and accuses Othello of using which-craft to enchant Desdemona. He tells Othello to meet him in court.

Iago is someone who constantly lies and deceives
