Lago perfectly fits into the villain archetype throughout Othello. We see examples of this on numerous occasions throughout the story. He is the “Puppet Master” of all of the conflicts throughout the plot. He orchestrates events that perfectly align with his motive for revenge. Just like the stereotype of villains all having one main motive and way of viewing life, so does Lago. Throughout the entire story, Lago proves this point on numerous occasions. So I will just list a few. Of course, all villains
