In William Shakespeare's tragic drama Othello, we see a morally depraved character named Iago. Throughout the play he has a plan to bring down a general named Othello, this plan goes, what seems to be, from force to force. And yet, is this the case? Is the plan Iago makes credible or even realistic? The plan Iago makes seems to be way too convenient, the plan changes after certain factors are added or removed from the plot he makes. For example, during the fight between Roderigo and Cassio, Iago kills Roderigo and Cassio is injured. When this happens, Cassio's lover Bianca appears on the scene and Iago may blame her as she has a reputation for not being honest. This isn't the only time in the room where he changes the plan in seconds, to suit what he wants, and it works. This may all seem very unrealistic, because it is assumed that in real life this simply would not happen. Additionally, the fact that the film takes place over only 3 days is unrealistic in itself. I think for a man and woman to be deeply in love, get married and then turn on each other would probably take more than 3 days. For example, when Emilia steals Desdemona's strawberry handkerchief for Iago. In this scene, we're told that he begged her to steal him "a hundred times", and this scene is supposed to take place in a single morning. This makes it seem like it's slightly exaggerated purely for the purposes of Iago's plot. Additionally, many characters consider him their confidant, for example Roderigo, Cassio, Desdemona and even Othello. You'd think that with all these people so close to him, one of them would realize what's going on, but that's simply not the case. They all refer to him as "honest", in fact the word honest appears fifty-two times, several times in connection with Iago. Until the final scene, no one knows anything about Iago's plan, until Emilia reveals what she knows. This all puts a pretty unrealistic spin on the plan, as all the characters are supposed to be noble and wise, so one would believe that Iago would have been discovered before all of this. Especially by Othello, when Iago explains to him the best way to kill Desdemona..
