The character that caught my attention

The character that caught my attention the most was Iago. He caught my attention because he is very smart but very sleazy, he uses other people to do the dirty work for him. He is the evil mastermind that caused everything in the tragedy to go ballistic. He made Othello believe that Desdemona is cheating on him, he made Cassio get drunk and fired, and then made him believe that he could talk to Desdemona to get his job back, only furthering Othello's doubt of her loyalty. Iago, although evil, is a very interesting character.

Iago's web of evil, who do I feel sorry for?

  Iago manipulates many people, he makes them do his dirty work for him. I feel sorry for some of them, but for others I don't so much. I feel sorry for Cassio, because he hasn't done anything wrong, Iago made him get drunk and made him lose his job. And Iago was the one that tricked him into talking to Desdemona to get it back. The person that I do not feel bad for is Othello himself. Even though Iago tricked him into thinking that Desdemona was cheating on him, he should have never doubted his wife's loyalty, she never gave him any reason to think so.
