Iago's Loyalty In Othello
I feel like that Iago's is a talented and tactful about how he gets revenge on Othello until he died (Christofides, 2010). In the beginning of the play, Iago is talking to Roderigo about how he was passed up for Lieutenant.
RODERIGO
35 “By heaven, I rather would have been his hangman.”
IAGO
36 “Why, there’s no remedy. 'Tis the curse of service.
Preferment goes by letter and affection,
And not by old gradation, where each second
Stood heir to th' first. Now sir, be judge yourself,
40 Whether I in any just term am affined
To love the Moor.” (Othello, 2014).
Iago explains to Roderigo that receiving a promotion is more a political achievement. Meaning, that if you have a good relationship with a high-ranking individual, then you are more likely to get a promotion before anyone else. As the play goes on, Iago becomes extremely aggravated with how Othello is handling things. Iago thinks of himself as a very well …show more content…
He offers his point of view on the servants that work their whole life and never gain anything for what they have sacrificed through their obedience and work ethics.

Iago tells Roderigo that he is simply trying to gain a promotion by telling Othello what he wants to hear.
Iago is by far the most horrible person in the history of Shakespeare. Iago is not happy because he’s not getting promoted and other people are moving up in the ranks. Iago began to put together a plot to get back at Othello. Not because of the recent promotions, but because Iago thinks Othello has slept with his wife. To get back at Othello, Iago starts to fall in love with Othello’s wife Desdemona. Iago believes that sleeping with Desdemona, Othello will get what he deserves. Iago want Othello to hurt as much as he
