Iago manipulates both Lord Bertrand and Othello for his own gain. With Othello, he exploits his insecurities and jealousy, planting seeds of doubt about Desdemona's fidelity, which ultimately leads to Othello's tragic downfall. In contrast, Iago treats Lord Bertrand with a facade of loyalty and respect, using him as a pawn in his larger scheme while concealing his true intentions. This duplicity highlights Iago's cunning and ruthless nature.

False. The expression "star-crossed lovers" is from Romeo and Juliet. Iago actually said, "How satisfied, my lord?
