Why does Iago say that he felt like stabbing Roderigo?


Which character recruits lago to woo Desdemona for himself?

Roderigo pays Iago large sums of money to help Roderigo's attempt to woo Desdemona. Iago just pockets the money because not only is Desdemona totally committed to Othello, but could never be interested in a twit like Roderigo.


How do you xxplain why Iago is upset with Roderigo?

Guidance. Roderigo would like to get Desdemona's attention, but is too thick to figure out how to go about it, or to know when his cause is lost. Iago is full of ideas and advice which Roderigo wants to rely on.


Why is Roderigo upset in act 1 Othello?

roderigo is jealous of othello because desdemona has chosen othello asher suiter despite the overwhelming offers roderigo has made and the racial difference in othello, which at that time would be considered taboo. so desdemona would rather go against society with othello than be with roderigo.


How does Brabantio attitude toward Roderigo change?

Brabantio is wakened by Iago and Roderigo making a lot of noise in the street. He sees Roderigo, who identifies himself, but does not see Iago, who is making foul-mouthed suggestions like "an old black ram is tupping your white ewe." Roderigo has been courting Desdemona and although Brabantio has turned him out of the house he keeps on hanging around like a stalker. Brabantio doesn't like him already and likes him less for waking him up with scurrilous suggestions. This all changes when Brabantio finds out that his daughter has in fact disappeared. Then he turns to Roderigo for help in finding her, which Roderigo is happy to supply. By the end of the scene, he is "good Roderigo" to Brabantio.

Why is Othello gullible and easily fooled?

He is not. Every other character in the play, without exception, considers Iago to be honest and trustworthy. Cassio lets Iago trick him into drinking more than he should, and then immediately trusts him again when Iago tells him to go to Desdemona. Is he gullible and easily fooled? Roderigo is conned again and again out of his money by Iago for a purpose anyone could tell was a waste of time. Again and again Roderigo is taken in by Iago. Iago even fools his wife (who by this point ought to know better) in the matter of the handkerchief. Emilia does not think it suspicious enough to tell Desdemona, unfortunately. As for Othello, Iago knows that Othello cannot be easily fooled. If Othello were so foolish, Iago could have told him his wife was unfaithful, and he would have believed it. No, instead, Iago only plants the idea in Othello's mind, saying all along that he doesn't believe it. He plays on Othello's humility, his concern that a man of his age, background and race could have few attractions for a girl like Desdemona. And so Othello starts to wonder, to doubt, to worry, not because he is gullible but because he is humble. But he doesn't right off believe it. He's not Claudio from Much Ado. "Give me the ocular proof!" he demands. Are these the words of a gullible man? Iago is a very skillful psychological manipulator. Nobody is immune to his techniques. Nobody. Othello is not a gullible man. Iago is an evil genius.
