Iago as the hero of Othello?In the play Othello, by Shakespeare, the character of Iago is perceived as a sinister and evil individual for readers who have just read the novel. If people think more about Iago's character and the actions he took to achieve the things he wanted, then they can find admirable traits in him. There is not a single character in the novel who is entirely good or entirely evil. Each character is complex in their own way. After reading this Shakespearean work of art, I discovered that if the reader wanted to find fault with everyone, they could. Does this make the characters bad guys? Perhaps this makes the characters individuals prone to certain emotions and problems that arise and arise during the struggle for power. From the beginning of this play, friction between the characters was prevalent. What is a Shakespearean play without character conflict? In the first act of scene one, Othello angered Iago and Roderigo when a promotion was given to Cassio. In the ninth line of the first act, scene one, Iago says: “In personal costume to make me his lieutenant, uncapped towards him. » Iago demanded and even pleaded for lieutenancy. When the reader becomes aware of it, the play begins to unfold. From this point on, Iago retains his anger and does several things to get revenge on Othello and everyone around him. In lines 36 to 38 of the same act and scene, Iago declares that "preference is made by letter and by affection, and not by an ancient gradation, where each second was the heir of the first." By saying this, Iago showed that he considered Othello's promotion to another person to be extremely offensive. Iago swept the insult from his shoulders and posed as if he had forgotten it. He said, “We cannot all be masters, nor can all masters be truly followed” (Act 1, scene 1, lines 44-45). Iago was determined to be a master. Iago was the character in the play who had the trust of a multitude of characters. But how worthy was he of that trust? He played with everyone's emotions. To some extent, those who trust him are also at fault. Iago rarely said things directly to people. He talked about things happening in his dreams or assumptions he had made..
