Diagnosing Iago

   After extensive observations, it is clear that Iago is one messed up puppy.  This deceitful, conniving man only cares about himself.  He uses people, people who consider him an honest friend, in his schemes and twisted webs to manipulate others, often to either get them in trouble or to get him on top.  For example, Roderigo loyally follows Iago around like a lost dog ans acts as Iago's naive, lovestruck human puppet.  As of now Iago has had Roderigo rat out the marriage of Othello and Desdemona to her father, Brabantio, in hope to have Othello removed from as General and to fulfill Iago's jealous rage.  His rage is caused bu Othello's choice of second in command, Cassio.  Iago thought this choice foolish because Cassio has no battle experience and has only proved himself by intelligence, while Iago is a war veteran.  If Iago can't get back at Othello directly, he will try to take a stab at Cassio.  If he can get Cassio to fall, or fail Othello, then Iago would become lieutenant, or so he thinks.  Iago treats women with a nasty hate.  Especially those close to him, his wife, Emilia, and Desdemona.  In mt professional opinion, Iago can only see himself as a higher person if he puts those around him down.  He is a misogynist.  It's pathetic that he has no kind words about his wife and to satisfy his ruptures ego he must treat her like trash and shun her in public.  Overall what gets this guy off is watching others fall in hope of himself becoming on top and treating women like their only purpose in to reproduce and cook, in attempt to feed his greed for power and his sick ego.
