In Iagos soliloqy he is talking about his master plan to get his job back from Cassio and have revenge over othello. He says: "After some time, to abuse Othello's ear/That he is to familiar with his wife". (''Let's see. After a while I'll start telling Othello that Cassio is too intimate with Desdemona.'') "The moor is of a free and open nature/That thinks men honest that but seem to be so,"
''He thinks any man who seems honest is honest.'' This shows Iago's jealousy towards cassio because he got the promotion instead of him. This also demonstrates Iagos insecurities because he feels threatened by Cassio and sees taking him down as the only option to getting himself back up.

Right before going to announce the marriage of othello and desdemona to barbantio iago states "I know my price, I am worth no worse a place.".(1.1.12) his shows that Iago is outraged at the fact that Othello gave the promotion to Michael Cassio instead of him. The thinks that he knows his own self worth enough to know that he deserves that job. Him not getting the promotion is an other motive of the outcome of the play.

In an other soliloquy Iago exposes his motives for hating othello to the public he states "Till I am evened with him, wife for wife." This shows that Iago believes that othello slept with his wife and he feels although he has to protect his manhood by getting his revenge on othello and taking his own wife away from him.

When Iago sets Casio up to humiliate himself in the bar his plan completely works because cassio looks down on himself " I will rather sue to be despised that to deceive so good a, Commander with so slight, so drunken, and so indiscreet/An officer". (2.3.264)

Iago is plotting against othello with Roderigo he says "For, sir,/ It is as sure as you are Roderigo,/ Were I the Moor I would not be Iago./ In following him, I follow but myself./ Heaven is my judge, not I for love and duty,/ But seeming so for my particular end./ For when my outward action doth demonstrate/ the native act and figure of my heart/ In complement extern, 'tis not long after/ But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve/ For daws to peck at. I am not what I am.".(1.1.61-71) This shows that Iago is saying that Othello wronged him, and that he will get his revenge and his honor back by manipulating Othello into thinking they are friends even though he is planning his downfall.

When Othello tells the duke the story of how him and desdemona fell in love he explains that he and barabantio were friends before. '"Her father loved me, oft invited me,/Still questioned me the story of my life/From year to year,the battles, sieges, fortunes,/ That have passed". (1.3.130) Even though othello is black he manages to win the respect of a man of high authority like Brabantio. Othello won his respect with his reputation for being a decorated military commander and strategist and his strong sense of bravado.

Iago tries to convince Rodrigo that cassio and desdemona are lovers so that he can get rodrigo mad at cassio which is what iago wanted all along. He says '' Lechery, by this hand, an index and obscure prologue to the history of lust and foul thoughts. They met so near with their lips that their breaths embraced together.". (2, 1, 260)(They were lusting after each other. You could tell by how they were acting that theyre going to be lovers.') this proves that iago is manipulating rodrigo's perspective and lying to him about cassio. Iago uses his way of getting confidence in people to put doubts in their mind about others and get them to turn on them. Iago is able to use others weaknesses to his profit very easily.

To get Rodrigo to side with him Iago tells him about his plan to pretend to be friends with othellos so that he can get inside details on him and not have othello suspect him of anything. He says: "I follow him to serve my turn upon him./ ... Others there are/Who, trimmed in forms and visages of duty,/Keep yet their hearts attending on themselves/And, throwing but shows of service on their lords,/Do well thrive by them. ... I am not what i am". (1.1.44-67) This shows that Iago is actually pretending to be loyal to Othello so that he can eventually find a way to destroy him.

when Iago is talking with Roderigo about his mischievous plan and how he is manipulating Othello he says: "When devils will the blackest sins put on/They do suggest at first with heavenly shows/As do now".(2.3.331)("When devils are about to commit their biggest sins, the put on their most heavenly faces just like I'm doing now.") this means that Iago is able to change his personality depending on who he is spending time with and it makes it hard to tell when he is lying or being truthful. He says that he hates Othello when he is with Rodrigo and the other with othello. He pretends to be othellos friend and makes othello trust him, tell him his secrets and in the end manipulates him by feeding him wrong information. In reality he is neither, he is just trying to get his job back and getting Rodrigo to give him money.

"It's silly to live when life is torture the only cure is death"

Explanation: Roderigo is under such distress over Othello marrying Desdemona that he has become depressed to the point of having suicidal tendencies. This has happened due to his jealousy of Othello. It shows how envy can cause humans great troubles in life over such trivial subjects.

Brabantio has just realized that his fair, young daughter is missing and he is slowly starting to believe what Roderigo (Iago) is telling him.    Brabantio complains to Roderigo,  “oh heaven, how got she out? Oh treason of the blood!/ Fathers, from hence trust not your daughters’ minds/ By what you see them act. Is there not charms/ By which the property of youth and maidhood/ May be abused?". (1.1.172-175) This shows that Brabantio thinks of his daughter as his property. He is shocked that his own daughter would betray a powerful, noble man like himself.    He is afraid that his reputation will be damaged by this betrayal.

When Brabantio is pleading his case by the duke and saying that his daughter is marrying Othello, the duke realizes that he has to take othellos side in this battle because he will help the Venetians win the war against the Ottoman empire so he states "And, noble signior,/If virtue no delighted beauty lack,/Your son-in-law is far more fair than black.".(1.3.291)This shows that the duke flattering Othello by saying that he deserves Desdemona, but it since Othello is black, it could mean that the duke sees him as the better side of his race and thinks that the rest of black people are inferior.

When brabantio is talking to the duke and trying to get him to annul the marriage in between Othello and desemona he says "She is abused, stol'n from me, ad corrupted/By spells and medicines brought of mountebanks." (1.3.63) He is implying that Othello used magic to make her fall in love with him because Barbantio is racist and thinks that there is no other way that his daughter would of fallen in love with a black man. This shows prejudice towards Othello.

When Barbantio is trying to get the duke to annul the marriage between his daughter and Othello he associates othello with dark imagery such as devils, black magic, evil, fear etc... He says "And she, in spite of nature,/Of years, of country, credit, everything,/To fall in love with what she feared most imperfect". (1.3.100) This shows that Babantio thinks that the fact that his daughter is in love with a black man is so unreasonable that he is sure that the devil is behind it all. He thinks that his daughter is a pure good girl and that the thought of her marring a black man is ridiculous.

Iago and Rodrigo go wake up the senator to tell him that his daughter is marring othello. Iago only does this as an attempt to damage the reputation of Othello and infuriate the senator. He says "... you have lost half of your soul./Even now, very now, an old black ram/Is tupping your white ewe. ... you'll have your daughter covered with a Barbary horse.  You'll have your nephews neigh to you". (1.1.89-91 and 114-116) This shows Iago’s racist attitude towards Othello. He uses animal imagery to make true love and an honest, loving sexual encounter between Othello and Desdemona seem bestial, violent, and nasty
