Paper Summary:

The following paper explores Iago's character by examining his relationships with others as well as considering the nature of the other characters in the play. This paper begins with a brief summary of each of these characters with an emphasis on those attributes that combine to bring about the tragedy of the play.

From the Paper:

"Of all of Shakespeare s villains, Iago is the one that we most love to hate simply because he is the most purely malignant character in Shakespeare s panoply of wrongdoers. Lear brings about terrible consequences because of his pride, but while Cordelia is sacrificed to Lear s blindness, we see that the king too suffers terribly, and he is clearly a man entangled by the arms of fate. Romeo and Juliet die tragically, of course, but there is no real villain in that play."
