The Agony

Iago has many people trapped in his web of evil - Roderigo, Cassio, Othello, Desdemona, and Emilia. I feel bad for all of these people. Roderigo is giving away all of his money to Iago thinking that Iago is helping him, when in reality, he is not. Because of Desdemona's fruitful personality, Iago is going to make Othello lose trust in her and question his marriage with her. Emilia has to live with Iago. She is Iago's wife! I feel sorry for her just having to sleep with that man because he has no respect for her and believes she is only useful for tupping and household chores. Othello has been discriminated throughout his life because of his color. He has been through so much and because he is so naive and trustful, he might lose his beloved wife and a good friend. I feel most sorry for Cassio however. Due to his reputation as a charming and good looking man, Iago will use this to make Othello believe that Cassio is making the beasts with two backs with Othello's wife, Desdemona. Cassio already lost his high position in the army. What more does Iago want to do to the poor guy?! The person I feel least sorry for is Roderigo because he is too blind to realize how evil Iago is. In the meantime, he is helping Iago out with his evil plot to sabotage Othello. Desdemona, and Cassio.
