Who is the main character in shake spears play O thello?
Unlike in Julius Caesar or the Merchant of Venice, the title character in Othello is actually also the main character, although Iago is equally important. Some might consider Iago to be the main character as he is involved not only with the main plot but also with the Rodrigo subplot.

So he can keep on cheating him out of his money. As long as Roderigo is prepared to pay Iago to pay court to Desdemona, Iago will keep on pocketing the money and persuading him to pay more. It is only when Roderigo says he will go to Desdemona and demand his cash back that Iago takes action.
Why does lago say wished to kill roderigo?
Roderigo was becoming aware of the fact that the huge sums of money he had given Iago to help seduce Desdemona had been going directly into Iago's retirement fund. When a conman cannot blow off the mark, either he runs or arranges for him to be killed. Actually Iago wanted Cassio to kill Roderigo but he didn't quite do the job so Iago has to finish it.

How would Iago gain from Rodrigo's death?
Roderigo has been threatening to ask Desdemona for the money and jewels he has given to Iago to try to persuade her to marry him. Since Iago has actually pocketed the money and jewels himself, this will reveal him as a cheat and a fraud. Better that Roderigo should die than that Iago should be outed in this way.
In othello why does iago sneak off so quickly after talking to brabantio?
Iago needs to uphold his reputation as "honest Iago" - as such, he cannot be seen creating a disturbance outside Brabantio's house, who happens to be a member of the Senate. Venice prided itself in being civilised so a public disturbance such as the one created by Iago and Roderigo would have been frowned upon and very damaging to Iago's image.
Who does Othello entrust Desdemona to?
To Iago. Iago does manage to get Desdemona safely to Cyprus. He doesn't do much about getting her back.
