Iago swearing by Janus is appropriate because Janus, the Roman god of beginnings, gates, transitions, and duality, embodies the themes of deception and duplicity that are central to Iago's character. Janus is often depicted with two faces, symbolizing the duality of Iago's nature—his outward appearance of loyalty and honesty contrasts sharply with his inner malice and manipulation. This reference highlights Iago's cunning and his ability to navigate between truth and falsehood, reinforcing his role as the antagonist in Shakespeare's "Othello."
