Is Santiago de Chile or de Compostela named after Shakespeare's Othello character Iago?

No, it's the other way around. Sant' Iago is in fact Saint James, and Iago is the Italian form of the given name James. Iago (and all other Jameses) is named for Saint James or Santiago, as are the two cities. St. James is of course one of the Apostles, author of the Epistle of James in the Bible, and a bishop of Jerusalem


Write a mini essay No character in Othello is flawless Discuss some of these flaws and how Iago uses to his advantage?

Well...OK... No character in Othello is perfect- this is true. There are two main instance where weaknesses come into play and are exploited by Iago. Michael Cassio, the mathematician who Iago is gunning to displace the whole time, has a known weakness for alcohol. Othello explicitly instructs him not to drink on his shift, but he does regardless. Iago then exploits this weakness, and soon Cassio threatens violence, and ends up stabbing Montano. Iago, when asked later, pretends he had nothing to do with it. This is ultimately what gets Cassio booted from the lieutenancy. The prime example of Iago's exploitation is, of course, Othello. Othello is willing to jump to conclusions about Desdemona and her scandalous (and ostensibly numerous) love affairs with Cassio and other men. All Iago has to do is plant these ideas in Othello's mind, and Othello goes to them himself. Othello is so caught up in rage that he cannot even see that they have only been in Cyprus a few days. These wild affairs behind his back are not even feasible.


In what play is Iago the villain?

Iago is the antagonist in the Shakespearean tragedy, Othello. He is very vengeful, but seems to have no motives for the things he does to Othello and the other characters. In other words, he is a very flat, two-dimensional character.
