Is Iago a demon? Mr. Hamm brought this up in class on Monday. It makes a lot of sense. Iago is completely demonic and evil. His only "true" reasons for ruining Othello's life are that maybe Othello slept with Iago's wife and that Othello promoted Cassio over Iago. And it's true, Iago tells different reasons all the time. And we were talking today in class about how Iago knows little things about people that will help him in bringing them down. That seems a little supernatural and mysterious to me. A lot of evidence points to Iago as a demon sent to destroy Othello - but why would a demon destroy Othello in the first place? What has he done wrong?
Just something I was thinking about...
