@gailcalled Hehe, I actually did find it amusing! Very detailed if I may say so! From an English-Literature-student-about-to-sit-her-final-exams’ point of view, it’s quite funny that someone should be able to easily class Iago as that. I think there’s much more character to the guy than just what meets the eye. That’s why he’s so convincing as a villain – because he’s hard to comprehend at first glance.
@Emelo123 I’ve just started rereading that book, and from what I’ve seen of Iago, I’d not call him dumb either. Cruel, definitely…and shrewd, but dumb? Not!!! How could someone who’s dumb come up with such ingeniously inhumane plans? I’m siding with you….....Othello isn’t half as fascinating as Iago =) And by fascinating I mean in a purely literary-analytical way! I definitely do not want clones of the guy wandering our streets!
