∙ 11y agoEveryone does. Othello calls him that too. It is really frustrating to anyone watching the play how everyone comments on how honest Iago is when we know what a sneaky, devious, unscrupulous, manipulative b*stard he is.

∙ 9y agoAbsolutely. His straightforwardness is one of his many good qualities. It is Iago who is habitually dishonest, but ironically is constantly referred to as "Honest Iago". Iago is one of those people who is very good at making people think he is honest when he is the farthest thing from it. But Othello is exactly what he seems to be.
