Iago is Shakespeare's unique creation of a character infused with human vices and villany as a manipulator who poisons Othello's mind.
Protaganist, antagonist, usually based entirely around a human emotion, like Othello which is all about jealousy.
There is only one Moor in Othello, and that is Othello himself. To Shakespeare's contemporaries a Moor was an African person. The word was used indiscriminately of North African and sub-saharan Africans. The story Othello tells of his life is perhaps more consistent with his being a North African. Othello was an European noble, from a line of royal men, and a christian. He is a person and a symbol. In western art there are a lot of Blackamoors, classical Africans, who symbolize blue blood (1100-1848). In the play Othello is the highest ranking person by birth and merit. The objections against him are those of the middling trading classes against the nobility. The Venetians cannot be considered mere racists as for one, human races were only invented in 1760, and they made The Moor their military leader. He was not lynched for marrying Desdemona, but was given a fair trial. I urge people to look farther than conventional opinions. This paragraph was written by Egmond Codfried (see attached link)
OthelloShakespeare recognized the damage that is done to a relationship by jealousy. The deceit of "honest, honest Iago" ended up being more believable to Othello than were the assuring words from Ophelia. It said something about the character of Othello, who was more willing to believe Iago. It says something about the character of us all. AnswerAlongside the theme of jealousy are many other themes, such as prejudice, (Iago is prejudiced towards Othello because he is black; the women are all treated badly by the men), the influence and manifestation of evil, shown clearly in the character of Iago:- 'If thou be'st the devil, I cannot kill thee' - Othello, Act VAlso the themes of status, power, and deception are prominent. Cassio loses his position as lieutenant, which Iago then gains. All are trying to establish power of some kind at varying points in the play. Iago wants the power that status affords him, as well as the manipulative power over his fellow man and their emotions:-'But I will drive the Moor into a jealousy so strong / That judgment cannot cure'This he achieves, as well as, to some extent, winning over the audience by making them laugh, singing songs and being a fun character, before revealing his true demonic self. This is the biggest shock to the audience, that while we may have regarded Othello as foolish to trust Iago, we as the audience did at one point too.Othello wants power over his own destiny towards the end of the play, which is why he kills himself (only one of the theories).In short, there are so many important themes in Othello, showing the most intimate details of the fragile human psyche, that it gives a very clear picture of the flaws in human nature.Incidentally, Othello's wife is Desdemona, not Ophelia, who is in Hamlet

A process primarily reflected in the role of nature in human development is maturation.
One example of satire in "Othello" is the character of Iago, who manipulates and deceives other characters to achieve his own selfish goals. Iago's cunning actions and dishonesty can be seen as a commentary on human nature and the destructive power of jealousy and deceit.
