Iago’s opinion of women.
Shakespeare’s play Othello is based on tragedy of Othello’s jealousy, which ironically leads Othello to kill Desdemona, his beloved (wife). Evil Iago is above all Shakespeare’s villains. Iago is a person with evil emotions, and as a result he deceives everybody, he also is exceptionally influential character who has taken in everyone, above all his own wife Emilia. His public face of bravery and honesty conceals a satanic delight in manipulation and destruction, and he will stop at nothing. Iago’s opinion on women is that he detests women in all kinds and shapes, and finds faults even when they have little or no faults.
It is evident that Iago refers to Desdemona as a piece of property, when He wakes up Brabantio (Desdemona’s Father) and tells him about the marriage to Othello.
In Act 1 Scene 1 Line 80 he states, “ Thieves, thieves! Look to your house, your daughter and your bags! ”
Further on Iago comes to Brabantio’s house and says to him that his daughter has been stolen, rather than saying she ran away with Othello, which reveals to us that he thinks women are the property of men.
Act 1 Scene 3, Iago tells Roderigo that he shouldn’t be an inane man to even think of taking his life for a female.
“Ere I would say I would drown myself for the love of a guinea hen; I would change my humanity with a baboon ”. Act 1 Scene 3 Line 310.
Again this reveals to us that Iago says that he would never drown himself for a female, he rat...
Self-objectification leads to body dissatisfaction which is recognized through the constant evaluation and criticizing of one’s and others size, shape, and weight and diminishes woman’s sexual health through the hypersexualization and sexual objectification of the female body. I argue that self-objectification is a social problem that instills in body dissatisfaction from the perpetuation of the thin white female image in the media.
	Iago uses a different tactic to manipulate Brabantio. He changes Brabantio's way of looking at the marriage of his daughter Desdemona to Othello. He awakes Brabantio by saying "Awake! What, ho, Brabantio! Thieves! Thieves! Look to your house, your daughter, and your bags! Thieves! Thieves!" (I.i.76-78) By saying this, Iago shows a new perspective to Brabantio by insinuating that Othello has stolen his daughter. Iago reinforces this when he say's,
The psalmist, in Psalms 42, begins with a thirst for the presence of God. The Psalmist is clear about wanting to return home. Home is where the temple or the ‘House of God’ was. The psalmist seems to believe that the only way to get in the presence of God was to return to the temple. The psalmist expresses feels of depression as the psalmist wrestled with feels of abandonment by God. The psalmist confronts God with two questions. “Why was he forgotten?” “Why does God allow the enemies to oppress him?” The psalmist is jaxaposited between despair and hope. Once again, the psalmist proclaims that continued hope will be in God and praises will be given.
Iago, 28, of Cyprus has been returned to Venice under accusation for the responsibility for two murders on the war torn island. He was stationed in Cyprus as a part of the Venetian force to defend the islands from Turkish invaders. The murdered include his wife Emilia, and one Roderigo. Michael Cassio, governor of Cyprus, arranged for Iago’s trial in Venice this past Friday.
Beginning with the lowest rank of women, Emilia and Desdemona, Iago insults them with misogynistic and commanding comments to reveal the stark dichotomy of power between men and women in Shakespearian times. Targeting pathos, Iago uses controlling and degrading remarks to put Emilia down and to gain spousal dominance. In two scenes where Emilia expresses her true feelings, Iago snaps at her by first stating, “You are a fool, go to”, and then later orders, “Go to, charm your tongue” (4.2. 147, 5.2. 182). By telling Emilia that she is a “fool”, not only does Iago abruptly insult her, but he does so publicly, thereby reinforcing male superiority over women in their society (4.2. 147). This type of rhetoric serves Iago strategically as Iago’s public

Shakespearian tales always leave us with a plethora to ponder about the Elizabethan age and Shakespeare himself. “Othello” is no break in this mold, leaving us to ponder the roll of Iago within the harsh tale of love and murder. Iago is the one to tell Othello of his wife’s betrayal with Cassio, hence making up a story that will work to his favor yet betray those around him. Iago betrays his wife, Emilia, but not only her as he drags Othello, Desdemona, and Cassio into the mix of lies and the hatred he is spreading to improve his rank with Othello. But were Iago’s acts unjust and done for the sake of it? Is he a heartless man who’s only happiness is to bring sorrow upon others? No, Iago has a just reason for what he does, even though he causes the deaths of Cassio, Emilia, and Desdemona in his search for revenge; Iago is not a heartless fiend, just a man wronged.
The origin of the war goes back to the conquest of William for England. In 1066
While reading the play “The Tragedy Of Othello” by Shakespeare I realized that it was almost like reading one big poem. Many of Shakespeare’s plays have a rhyme scheme this is called blank verse, “written prodomintaly in blank verse, Othello also includes prose passages (many spoken by Iago) and rhymed couplets (which punctuate the ends of some scenes)” (DiYanni 1011). The character I took the most interest in was Iago. He is portrayed as the villain throughout the play. Iago claims that he always speaks the truth when everything is an elaborated lie to manipulate others. Iago is married to Emilia, it was surprising to me that he did have a wife because he doesn’t have a good view on women. He believes they are suppose to be servants and housewives. In his view lying and cheating is the way to get things done. What makes Iago one of the worst shakespeare villains is, he is out to

In William Shakespeare’s Othello Iago is the undeniable orchestrator of all the turmoil in the play. Iago’s malicious ploys cause envy and grief for every character that he encounters. Iago chooses to hurt people by making them envious because Iago himself is plagued by evy. Iago’s ironic struggle with envy is the fuel for all destruction in the book, and without the element of envy each character would have less of a desire to carry out the actions that transpired throughout the play. Iago is envious of Othello’s position of power, and the rumors that Emilia had an affair with Othello. Ultimately, Iago plans to destroy Othello by inciting him with envy, and to get Othello to turn on his wife.Iago’s paramount display of envy for Othello is in his soliloquy and also his conversations with Othello. Othello soon becomes overwhelmed with envy, and it is this envy that drives the play, and Iago’s plans.
After witnessing Desdemona proclaim her love to Othello and Brabantio, her father, acknowledging their marriage, Roderigo, suitor of Desdemona, tells Iago that he is going to drown himself. However, Iago intervenes, saying “Our bodies are our gardens, to the which our / wills are gardeners.”(1.3.363-364,) persuading Roderigo not to commit suicide but, to take care of himself. Then Iago upholds his words with more persuasions, to further uplift Roderigo. Roderigo then drops his idea of killing himself and when asked by Iago to leave with him to Cyprus and commanded to “Put money in thy purse.”(1.3.182), he does so willingly. Iago’s power of language shines here in that not only does he saves Roderigo from killing himself, but he gains his trust to use let him be used by Iago however he
After Othello finds out he has been tricked by Iago into killing his faithful and loving wife he says:
Juxtaposing an elevation of Emilia with a punch line diminishing females, Shakespeare explores Iago’s ability to appease those around him to accept his sexism without quarrel. Iago references Emilia’s tongue twice, once negatively, once positively, suggesting Iago changes his public personality with fluidity, but returns to his unconscious belief in female inferiority. Directing the negative mention toward a man and the positive toward Emilia, Iago succeeds at maintaining his masculinity among his peers by reinforcing traditional gender roles, but pacifies Emelia by complimenting her. Shakespeare builds Iago’s joke with phrases such as “She that could think” and “She that in wisdom,” representing a break from traditional thought of women as purely domestic workers without a male’s mental capacity.
