Ultimately, Iago's anal discourse becomes the signifying chain that links "the civilizing process" to the development of modern racism; all share a cruel logic of abjection, sustained by the crudest somatic metaphors.
His swiftly improvised plot to "gyve" the objects of his hatred by closing this narrow gap wins the appalled admiration of critics who read this moment as just one among many in which Iago displays a distinctly artistic viciousness—here, taking what we might describe as wicked poetic license with an innocent social grammar.
But Cassio, by his smiling, whispering, and repeated kissing of his own hand, does more than provide Iago with the material to construct an artful trap; he also sets Iago thinking in terms of lower-body functions and, specifically, in terms of the medicinal "clyster," or enema.
