English 144: Othello

I really just do not like Iago! He seems to enjoy the pain of others. Plus, the way he treats women! Oh my! That is why I did not like Taming of the Shrew; Katherina was treated horribly in that. Some might say she deserved it, but I still do not like to see people misused at all. Anyhow, back to Othello. I find it so dumb that Othello would believe Iago in the matter of love. Why would Iago know anything about Othello and Desdemona‘s love? Othello did not find Iago to be capable of a higher position, why should he begin to think Iago as worthy now? Shakespeare sure liked this deceiving nature of humans. Every play we have read so far, someone is being deceived. All these characters being tricked, so someone else can have what they want. I don’t know. I just hope that something bad happens to Iago in the end. He needs to get his own in the end, after everything he puts everyone through! He just upsets me.
