Iago explains,  "I follow him to serve my turn upon him. ... Others there are who, trimmed in forms and visages of duty, keep 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"   
(Shakespeare, 1.1.44-67)

Explanation:  to Iago tries to reassure Roderigo that he is actually pretending to be loyal to Othello so that he can eventually find a way to destroy his new marriage. ]]> 2018-11-20 15:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/306383798 claraflittle https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/306383799 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.

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]]> 2018-11-20 15:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/306383800 claraflittle https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/306383801 1.   A creative title

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. ]]> 2018-12-05 14:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/311374250 claraflittle https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/311374509 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.

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.

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. ]]> 2018-12-10 03:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/312764351 claraflittle https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/312765882 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.".(1.1.61-71) 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.]]> 2018-12-10 04:15:41 UTC https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/312768223 claraflittle https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/312770258 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. ]]> 2018-12-10 04:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/312770258 claraflittle https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/312770314 "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.]]> 2018-12-10 04:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/312770314 claraflittle https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/312770454 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.]]> 2018-12-10 04:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/312770454 claraflittle https://padlet.com/claraflittle/vbrvudo1ch7s/wish/312770540 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.
