The two murderers escape detection. Fred West contends that Shakespeare was not content with simply portraying another "stock" morality figure, and that he, like many dramatists, was particularly interested in the workings of the human mind. Iago is a soldier who has fought beside Othello for several years, and has become his trusted advisor. As Royal Vizier of Agrabah, he was presented as the Sultan's most trusted and loyal advisor. Iago then engineers a fight between Cassio and Roderigo in which the latter is killed (by Iago himself, double-crossing his ally), but the former merely wounded. With 1,097 lines, Iago has more lines in the play than Othello himself.
Following Othello's suicide, Cassio, now in charge, condemns Iago to be imprisoned and tortured as punishment for his crimes. [13] However, he failed to make any other appearance with Saints, subsequently returning to Tottenham in June, and on 18 July he scored in a pre-season 2–0 victory at Stevenage. In Cinthio's tale, for example, the ensign suffers an unrequited lust for the Moor's wife, Desdemona, which then drives his vengeance. Iago hates Othello and devises a plan to destroy him by making him believe that his wife is having an affair with his lieutenant, Michael Cassio.
One only who lacks inner assurance and is so constantly on guard against any hint of his inferiority could so confess himself". Iago makes this comment to Othello as a way of refuting Othello’s insistence that Desdemona is honest and would not lie to him. [7] West believes that "Shakespeare had observed that there exist perfectly sane people in whom fellow-feeling of any kind is extremely weak while egoism is virtually absolute, and thus he made Iago". While no English translation of Cinthio was available in Shakespeare's lifetime, it is possible Shakespeare knew the Italian original, Gabriel Chappuy's 1584 French translation, or an English translation in manuscript.
Father Iago, currently known as Lazarus James, is a 6th generation Malkavian acting primarily in the New Orleans area.
Elsewhere, he is charismatic and friendly, and the advice he offers to both Cassio and Othello is superficially sound; as Iago himself remarks: "And what's he then, that says I play the villain, when this advice is free I give, and honest...?"[12].
After several years in the club's youth ranks, he was never aggregated either to the first team of Frank Rijkaard nor B side of Luis Enrique. The two men denounce the Moor to the Venetian Seignory. He points out that Desdemona demonstrably has the capacity to lie and keep secrets since she hid her courtship with Othello from her disapproving father. Iago is a Machiavellian schemer and manipulator, as he is often referred to as "honest Iago", displaying his skill at deceiving other characters so that not only do they not suspect him, but they count on him as the person most likely to be truthful. Léone Teyssandier writes that a possible motive for Iago's actions is envy towards Desdemona, Cassio and Othello; Iago sees them as more noble, generous and, in the case of Cassio, more handsome than he is. [25], On 1 July 2015, Falque's transfer to Roma was confirmed as a season-loan deal for €1 million, with a buyout clause activated as soon as he plays one official match for Roma with the additional sum of €7 million with €1 million performance-related bonus. It is this dramatic irony that drives the play. Visit BN.com to buy new and used textbooks, and check out our award-winning NOOK tablets and eReaders. He was also a devout follower of Pope Gregory VII, even though he rarely agreed with the Pope's decisions on matters of state. Iago reveals his true nature only in his soliloquies, and in occasional asides. He is the husband of Emilia, who is in turn the attendant of Othello's wife Desdemona. [8] According to Babcock, it is not malice, but fear, that drives Iago. Iago Falque Silva (Galician: [ˈjaɣʊ ˈfalkɪ], Spanish: [ˈjaɣo ˈfalke]; born 4 January 1990) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Italian club Benevento on loan from Torino. He is condemned to exile; Desdemona's relatives eventually execute him. [27] He scored his first goal in Serie A for Torino on 11 September, from a free-kick, in a 2–1 defeat to Atalanta.
[17], On 22 August 2013, Falque joined La Liga side Rayo Vallecano in a season-long loan deal, with a buyout clause. Iago is the main antagonist in the tragedy play Othello by the late William Shakespeare. He argues that since Desdemona has committed her crimes in bed, by sleeping with other men, she should also die in bed. He remains famously reticent when pressed for an explanation of his actions before he is arrested: "Demand me nothing.
[10] In particular, he sees the death of Cassio as a necessity, saying of him that "He hath a daily beauty in his life that makes me ugly".
In discussing The Tragedy of Othello, scholars have long debated Iago's role—highlighting the complexity of his character and manipulativeness. Iago est l'antagoniste secondaire du long métrage animé Aladdin, sorti en 1992, et plus tard, l'un des protagonistes des suites sortie directement en vidéo et de la série télévisée tirés du film.
The quote shows Iago’s desire to control every aspect of how his plan will unfold, and also his sinister sense of poetic justice. From this time forth I never will speak word." Iago plots to manipulate Othello into demoting Cassio, and thereafter to bring about the downfall of Othello himself. While Shakespeare closely followed Cinthio's tale in composing Othello, he departed from it in some details. Desdemona dies in an entirely different manner in Cinthio's tale; the Moor commissions his ensign to bludgeon her to death with a sand-filled stocking. [18] He made his division debut eight days later in a 1–2 home loss against Levante. On 30 August 2008, Falque signed a four-year contract with Juventus,[1] and was officially presented on 2 September 2008. In truth, the imperious Jafar held passionate disdain for the Sultan. Iago encourages Roderigo to believe that by participating in Iago’s plot, he might have the chance to have an affair with Desdemona.
The contract that Falque signed after the buyout clause will be until 30 June 2020.
[26], On 19 July 2016, it was announced that Falque was loaned to Torino with a buying option for the 2016–17 season.
Shakespearean critic A. C. Bradley said that "evil has nowhere else been portrayed with such mastery as in the evil character of Iago",[6] and also states that he "stands supreme among Shakespeare's evil characters because the greatest intensity and subtlety of imagination have gone into his making. Once Othello flies into a jealous rage, Iago tells him to hide and look on while he (Iago) talks to Cassio. [9] According to his theory, Iago "is the first cause, but events, once under way, pass out of his control". He transferred to the Serie A club on a free deal which included compensation to Barcelona up to €2.5 million if certain matches and goals were reached by the player in his stay with the club. Here Iago explains how Roderigo can help him. In gruesome detail, Cinthio follows each blow, and, when she is dead, the Moor and his ensign place her lifeless body upon her bed, smash her skull, and then cause the cracked ceiling above the bed to collapse upon her, giving the impression the falling rafters caused her death. [9] Following this logic, Draper concludes that Iago "is neither as clever nor as wicked as some would think; and the problem of his character largely resolves itself into the question: was he justified in embarking upon the initial stages of his revenge?"[9]. Shakespeare contrasts Iago with Othello's nobility and integrity. The Moor misses his wife greatly, however, and comes to loathe the sight of his ensign.

Use up and down arrows to review and enter to select. [34], In 2008, Falque played for the Galicia national football team in a friendly match against Iran. Born in Vigo, Galicia, Falque began his career with Real Madrid before moving to Barcelona in 2001. He manipulates his wife Emilia, Desdemona's lady-in-waiting, into taking from Desdemona a handkerchief that Othello had given her; he then tells Othello that he had seen it in Cassio's possession. This quote shows Iago’s skill at psychological manipulation: he subtly plants a seed of doubt in Othello’s mind, using the couple’s own love as a weapon to increase the distrust between them. [31] He started the 2017–18 season with Torino, playing two consecutive seasons for the same club for the first time in his career. [24] He scored his 12th and 13th goals of the season on 17 May in a 4–1 win away to Atalanta.
[7], Bradley writes that Iago "illustrates in the most perfect combination the two facts concerning evil, which seem to have impressed Shakespeare the most", the first being that "the fact that perfectly sane people exist in whom fellow-feeling of any kind is so weak that an almost absolute egoism becomes possible to them", with the second being "that such evil is compatible, and even appears to ally itself easily, with exceptional powers of will and intellect".
Here Iago orchestrates even the way in which Desdemona will be killed. The ensign escapes any prosecution in Desdemona's death, but engages in other crimes and dies after being tortured.[5]. He's not the Devil. The quote also reinforces the fact that Iago has complete control over Othello at this point, since Othello immediately agrees to the gruesome plan. [3], On 29 July 2010, Falque joined Villarreal B on loan with the right of redemption. [23] On 24 February 2015, Falque opened the scoring in the Derby della Lanterna against Sampdoria, an eventual 1–1 draw.
He changed his name after madness overwhelmed him. Iago says this line to Roderigo at the start of the play as he explains that he secretly hates Othello and is plotting against him.
However, Iago only mentions this motivation very briefly, and it does not seem to fully explain the depth of his hatred toward Othello. [7], On 9 December 2012, he played his only Premier League match, appearing for five minutes[8] at the end of a 1–2 loss at Everton as a substitute for striker Jermain Defoe. As a trusted confidante, he is able to sway Othello’s opinion and manipulate him much more effectively. [9], On 16 January 2012, Tottenham signed Falque permanently for €1 million (€250,000 went to Barcelona),[10][11] loaning him to Championship leaders Southampton for the remainder of the season. Cinthio's tale may have been based on an actual incident occurring in Venice about 1508.[4].
