	Othello - Analysis of Iago
		Iago is consumed with envy and plots to steal the position he feels he most justly deserves.
		However, it is not that Iago pushes aside his conscience to commit these acts, but that he lacks a conscience to begin with.
		Iago is a perfect example of "Shakespeare's villain." His amorality and cynicism give, what would be a very dull character, life.

	Iago - Literature Network Forums
		Iago is the best character in Othello, and it´s basically because of who he is. He is one of the few characters which some call "historical", because he´s more like a real person than a "paper-flat" character.
		Iago doesn´t even act because he believes he deserves it in a prideful sort of way, he acts the way he does because it´s in his best interest at the time and can´t really be bothered to care about morality or ethics or even human life.
		Iago and his "honesty"...can actually set u thinking...i mean the guy is so "double-faced"...right from the starting of the play...he manipulates others in a way that suits his interests...even his way of presenting the relation between Othello and desdemona are so contradictory to the deeply felt emotion that the two share...

	Iago Performer Steals Verdi's `Otello'
		Iago is the puppet master, pulling the strings of all the main characters as he goes about his work.
		And his acting Wednesday enforced the destiny of a man born to raise hell: As Iago gloats over Otello, felled by his agony over what he believes is Desdemona's infidelity, Struckmann's facial expression was the perfect mix of haughty and hateful.
		Christine Mielitz was greeted with a mix of cheers and jeers for her heavy use of lighting and a backscreen that was alternately gloomy gray, fiery red or fleecy white to reflect the moods of what was transpiring on stage.

	SparkNotes: Othello: Analysis of Major Characters
		Iago is often funny, especially in his scenes with the foolish Roderigo, which serve as a showcase of Iago’s manipulative -abilities.
		Some readers have suggested that Iago’s true, underlying motive for persecuting Othello is his homosexual love for the general.
		Similarly, critics who argue that Desdemona’s slightly bizarre bawdy jesting with Iago in Act II, scene i, is either an interpolation not written by Shakespeare or a mere vulgarity ignore the fact that Desdemona is young, sexual, and recently married.

	The Romantic Iago
		F Shakespeare's characters," writes Professor Bradley, "Falstaff, Hamlet, Iago, and Cleopatra (I name them in the order of their births) are probably the most wonderful.
		We are prone to turn our scandalized backs upon Iago and flatter ourselves, as our ancestors have been doing since the days of Samuel Johnson, that the rogue shall never beguile us; and thus we miss the many evidences that Iago was to Shakespeare intensely, even romantically, attractive.

		Iago is of the opinion that Cassio is just making a big fuss about his reputation, so much of a fuss that at first Iago honestly thought that Cassio had received an actual wound.

		Iago continues to pretend reluctance, and says it wouldn't be good for Othello to know his thoughts, because those thoughts might be just false suspicions.

	Iago essays
		Iago’s inherently evil nature is illustrated by both his actions and through his soliloquys - the act of talking to oneself and in the process informing to Elizabethan audiences of what is to come.
		Iago’s lack of motive supports the notion that he is inherently evil, which is further supported by his silence when questioned about his motives by Othello, which maybe interpreted, that Iago himself knows his motives are inadequate.
		Iago’s soliloquys portray his inward choice to be evil, and it is his inadequate motives to bring about the downfall of Othello and Cassio, that may well leave the audience feeling unsympathetic towards this “notorious villain”.

	Iago in Shakespeare's Othello
		Iago says about Roderigo, "Thus do I ever make my fool my purse." [Act I, Scene III, Line 355] By playing on his hopes, Iago is able to swindle money and jewels from Roderigo, making himself a substantial profit, while using Roderigo to forward his other goals.
		Being as smart as he is, Iago is quick to recognize the advantages of trust and uses it as a tool to forward his purposes.
		Roderigo eventually starts to question Iago's honesty, saying "I think it is scurvy, and begin to find myself fopped in it." [Act IV, Scene II, Line 189] When faced with this accusation, Iago simply offers that killing Cassio will aid his cause and Roderigo blindly falls for it, hook, line, and sinker.

	IAGO'S DEFENSE - The New York Review of Books
		166, in a chapter called "In Defense of Iago." Rosenberg then goes on to give the finest explanation of that subtle villain I have seen—including the well-substantiated implication that Iago had an ulcer.
		What I said was that in dealing with Iago Rosenberg "doesn't even refer to Coleridge"—which is true, though he does refer to several critics who have picked up Coleridge's "motive-hunting of motiveless malignity." All the same I think I was unfair to Rosenberg in this matter.
		I have looked at the chapter "In Defense of Iago" again, and in several passages expounding Iago's "searing contempt for his own self," his "internalized rage," he comes close to Coleridge's conception of the alienated self which (as Mrs.

	Iago - Literature Network Forums
		Iago is not an evil character; his personality means that he has a depth through amorality that the trite, two-dimensional style of modern 'villians' is completely detached from Iago, and Shakespeare gives his character the intellect to transcend other characters in the play...don't misunderstand him!
		Although, i can see how you would've come to the conclusion of Iago being misunderstood through maybe these actions providing an outlet for his intelligence, i still feel that despite his qualities, by choosing to go down this path he is a villain never less.
		A villain is defines as (courtesy of m-w.com) "a deliberate scoundrel or criminal" or " a person or thing blamed for a particular evil or difficulty" which means by definition Iago definitely was a villain.
