Iago, the hero of Othello? In William Shakespeare's tragedy, "Othello", we can see different ideas about who the real hero might be, but for me the usual reading of the work is that Othello is the hero, Cassio the innocent victim, and Iago the bad guy with no feelings in his heart. But could it be that we have not been able to see the other side of this powerful story? I think it's the hero who suffers. He's the one who does it. He fights, tries not to fall and doesn't give up, why would it be his fault, he could have been the one who found his wife and his precious lady sleeping with the one he admires the most, his best friend Othello. And to make matters worse, Othello didn't give him the position they both knew he deserved. The only thing Iago had ever done was love Othello, and nothing else. In my article I want to be able to point out that we cannot reach just one conclusion in one book. We need to be able to delve deeper into the meaning of what makes “Villian” a villain. The real villain could well be Othello. We can't blame people for everything they do, especially when they have a reason to act the way they do. In the book "The Count of Monte Cristo", we all understood that Edmond Dantes trapped people and destroyed them. Because we can see how things went from the beginning and why Dantes hated the characters he destroyed. Without this understanding, in the play “Othello” we are not able to understand why things happen the way they do. And for this reason we cannot see clearly what Iago feels and suffers. For he had his own story before all this happened Iago: "If I do not. Three greats of a city, / On personal trial to make me his lieutenant, / Without cap for him; and by faith of man,/ I know my price, I am not worth a worse place./ But he, loving his own pride and his own objectives,/ Escapes them through grandiloquent circumstances,/ Horribly full of war epithets,/ And in conclusion,/Not suitable for my mediators."/(act 1, scene 1, line 9) Both Othello and Iago knew that he was the right person for the position of lieutenant. He was able to handle things, maybe even better than anyone else. But Othello would not listen to what he knew was right. He had the power to do anything and because he might have thought that the best thing to do was to listen and pay more attention to others, Othello chose this so-called Forsooth, this so-called great arithmetic, a certain Michael Cassio, who came from Florentine. Why wouldn't Iago feel isolated, as if Othello had just stabbed him in the heart? Even though Othello knew that Iago wanted to take this position and he knew that he was perfectly suited for this position, Othello decided to follow what others, strangers, were telling him, and in a few words, he put end of his friendship with Iago. Iago: "So I always make my fool my aim./ For my own acquired knowledge should desecrate/ If I would spend time with such a snipe/ But for my sport and profit. I hate the Moor,/ And we think of the stranger who 'twisted my sheets/ 'Did my office. I don't know if it's true,/ But I, for a simple suspicion of this kind,/ I will act as security, he holds me well./ The better my plan will be. work on him./" (act 1 scene 3 line 26) who wouldn't get upset, although he tries not to feel as if it bothered him very much to have heard that Othello was under his sheets. wife? Most people who would find out that there could be a chance that your wife or spouse slept with your best friend.."
