Seminar paper from the year 1999 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Dusseldorf "Heinrich Heine" (Anglistisches Institut), course: Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Othello, the Moor of Venice, 16 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Introduction There has been a long critical debate about the figure of Iago in Shakespeare s Othello and especially about his motivation. Most complex of all for actors and critics is the Iago problem. This villain is much more dangerous than Cinthio s. He not only betrays the Moor and the Captain (Cassio); he injures everyone in his vicinity. How can so evil a man be plausible? How can he win the confidence of so apparently noble a man as Othello? And more important, what is his motivation? Why should any man hurt others so much? Is he simply a dramatic mechanism? A symbol of the devil? The devil himself? Or is he in fact a good man who has been provoked to revenge by wrongs done him? Was he unfairly denied promotion by Othello? Cuckolded by him? By Cassio? Finally, how can a character who does so much wrong involve audiences so deeply in his fate? The controversy has produced many different views and, rereading them, one could get the impression that Iago has become a real person with real traits of character and that he is responsible for what he has "done", and some critics withdraw more and more from the original text. Therefore any consideration of Iago s or any other character refers to his "character" as a stage personage in Shakespeare s Othello. After seeing the bulk of literature written on the character of Iago, one tends to agree with Adamson: So many critics over the years have made so much sense (not to mention nonsense) of Iago that one naturally hesitates to dig over the plot again. Criticism on Othello is very diverse. Following are a few examples of the manifold interpretations of Iago s character.

“Nicole Galland is exceptionally well versed in the fine nuances of storytelling.” —St. Petersburg Times “Galland has an exceptional gift.” —Neal Stephenson The critically acclaimed author of The Fool's Tale, Nicole Galland now approaches William Shakespeare's classic drama of jealousy, betrayal, and murder from the opposite side. I, Iago is an ingenious, brilliantly crafted novel that allows one of literature's greatest villains--the deceitful schemer Iago, from the Bard's immortal tragedy, Othello--to take center stage in order to reveal his "true" motivations. This is Iago as you've never known him, his past and influences breathtakingly illuminated, in a fictional reexamination that explores the eternal question: is true evil the result of nature versus nurture...or something even more complicated?

An unforgettable adventure beginning where Shakespeare's Othello leaves off Wounded in love, tormented by his past, Shakespeare's most complex villain is brought magnificently to life in this tale of two adversaries—one an accused killer; the other, one of the most powerful men in Venice. Having escaped from Cyprus, accused of the murders of the governor, known as the Moor, and his lovely young wife, Iago is now locked in battle with Annibale Malipiero, known as Il Terribile, the chief inquisitor of Italy's greatest city. Malipiero is repelled by the more brutal tasks of the interrogante. His obsession is with the very nature of evil. What makes a man into a murderer, he longs to know? Is Iago a lone psychopath, or does he lie at the heart of a more widespread Ottoman conspiracy? Malipiero knows that torture will not provide him with the answers he seeks. But there is, perhaps, a more audacious and unusual route to the truth . . . Exuberantly inventive, thrillingly complex, and richly entertaining, Iago will captivate fans already familiar with Shakespeare and appeal to anyone who loves a rich historical novel. Iago marks the emergence of a remarkable new literary voice.

Othello by William Shakespeare delves into themes of jealousy, betrayal, and manipulation. In the heart of Venice, a city of opulence and intrigue, the esteemed Moorish general Othello has just married Desdemona, a noblewoman of grace and beauty. Their love, however, is shadowed by the prejudices and insecurities that permeate their world. Shakespeares Othello is a timeless tragedy that delves deep into the themes of jealousy, trust, and betrayal, laying bare the darkest corners of the human soul. The drama unfolds as Iago, Othellos ensign, harbors a deep resentment towards his master. Passed over for promotion in favor of the young Cassio, Iago concocts a devious scheme to ruin Othello. With diabolical cunning, Iago manipulates those around him, exploiting their weaknesses to weave a web of deceit. His masterstroke is the insinuation that Desdemona has been unfaithful with Cassio, planting the seeds of doubt in Othellos mind. Othellos love for Desdemona is profound but fragile, easily shaken by Iagos insinuations. As jealousy takes root, Othellos rationality erodes, leading him down a path of destructive rage. The once honorable general becomes consumed by suspicion, seeing treachery in every glance and gesture of his beloved wife. The tension crescendos as Othello demands proof of Desdemonas infidelity, and Iago provides false evidence, sealing Desdemonas tragic fate. Othello is a profound meditation on the nature of trust and the ease with which it can be shattered. The plays characters are vividly drawn, each a testament to Shakespeares understanding of human psychology. Iago, with his malevolent intelligence, stands as one of literatures greatest villains, while Othellos tragic flawhis susceptibility to doubtresonates through the ages. In the end, the tragic deaths of Desdemona and Othello leave a void filled with remorse and regret. Shakespeares Othello is not just a story of personal downfall but a cautionary tale about the vulnerability of the human heart. It remains a powerful exploration of the themes of love, honor, and the devastating impact of deceit, ensuring its place as one of the most enduring works of English literature. "Othello" explores the destructive power of jealousy and the consequences of unchecked manipulation. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of succumbing to base emotions and the tragic outcomes that can result from mistrust and deceit.

Othello was written in 1603 and first performed in 1604. The underlying story is based on “A Moorish Captain,” one of the stories in Cinthio’s Gli Hecatommithi, written in 1565. Othello is a Moorish black general in Venice, known for his military prowess. He elopes with Desdemona, a noble Venetian lady, who is the daughter of Brabantio, a senator. When Othello promotes Cassio to be his lieutenant over Iago, his ensign, the evil Iago gets his revenge by alleging an affair between Cassio and Desdemona, sowing doubt in the mind of Othello. This Standard Ebooks edition is based on William George Clark and William Aldis Wright’s 1887 Victoria edition, which is taken from the Globe edition.

In The Western Canon: The Books and School of the Ages the American critic Harold Bloom claims that Shakespeare drew on Chaucer's Pardoner when creating the villain Iago for his Othello. This book turns Bloom's observation of influences within the canon of Western literature into a more complex intermedial analysis of dramatic and literary traditions at the waning of the Middle Ages and the dawn of the Renaissance. The discussion of verbal and non-verbal codes in Chaucer's presentation of the Pardoner and Shakespeare's depiction of Iago sheds light on the various strands of the Vice's development, and shows that Chaucer's pilgrim, who descends obliquely from the stage Vices, stands at the very beginning of the Vice tradition, while Iago is a late development of him, who adapts his role to new dramatic challenges.

The most beautiful aspect of the play is Iago's ingenious deception of Othello. In every phrase, Iago knows just what to say to swing his Moor closer to the belief in Desdemona's infidelity. The subtle strategist to his general (and the puppeteer to Roderigo and Cassio), Iago is in full glory practicing his art of insinuation. Iago is the master of duplicity. However, while in Macbeth the devious instruments of darkness were netherworldly creatures, here Iago himself takes on devil's work. Treachery plays here the most insidious part: it lays the ground for murder. Treachery itself takes its roots in hatred. While Richard III and Macbeth are murderers for their own advancement, Iago's guiding star in his hunt is hatred. His "I hate the Moor" at the end of the 1st act, breaking the flow of the soliloquy in which he derides Roderigo is the essence of Iago in a line. The reasons for his hatred are not as clear cut. Iago knows that his being cuckolded by Othello is a mere suspicion (but willfully decides that he does not want to know for sure and will act as if it were true). This is his private (false) excuse for hating Othello. His public one, or at least the one he presents to Roderigo, is having been passed over in the pecking order of military ranking. But he only gives this argument to Roderigo and never repeats it in any soliloquies. With all his hatred and scheming, Iago is another spectacular Shakespearean villain endowed with inspired language. His art of intrigue ensures him a place among Shakespeare's leading characters (villains for the most part) and will entertain our enduring fascination with human nature's dark side...
