Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes Iago's speech to Roderigo in "Othello" by William Shakespeare. Specifically, it discusses what the speech reveals about Iago's character.
From the Paper
"Iago could be one of Shakespeare's most evil and frightening villains. He has no remorse, and is totally consumed with his own hatred of Othello. It colors everything he does in the play, and has clearly turned him into a bitter and spiteful man. In his speech to Roderigo in the First Act, Third Scene of the play, he reveals quite a bit about his own personality and psychology. It is clear he is not a kindly, romantic, or loving man. (A man that kills his own wife is none of these things). He says, "our bodies are gardens," (Shakespeare 1:3:315) which at first seems a bit romantic and earthy, but then compares the garden's fruitfulness with our own wills. This makes sense, because we are responsible for our own wills, and our own bodies, and so, we are responsible for what "grows" there, but he is really showing his cynicism and negative outlook. He is clearly a pessimist when he says, "the blood and baseness of our natures would conduct us to most preposterous conclusions:" (Shakespeare 1:3:322). He feels we are nothing more than base humans, who are led by our emotions and our sexuality."

Abstract
This paper attempts to show how Shakespeare's representation of Venice in "Othello" shows a diverse city full of prejudice beneath its multifaceted surface-a city full of stereotypes about men of color, about women's desires, and about lower-class men like Iago and Rodrigo. It discusses how the danger, however, is not so much in diversity or multiculturalism in and of itself, but how this diversity, if improperly deployed, can be turned against people like Othello, and used by men like Iago, who strive to vent their hatred upon others rather than upon the society that excludes them because of their class.
From the Paper
"Maurice Hunt further suggests, however, that it is not only Othello who is alienated by Venetian society. "Iago's only bond with his wife Emilia is not intimate, or even affectionate, and it becomes the means that undoes him when he believes he must kill her to prevent her from revealing his knavery." (Hunt, 2003, p.2) Iago, while a Venetian by birth, is also a kind of "private, unofficial" alien in an "existential" sense that he feels denied a rightful position in society. (Hunt, 2003, p.2) The alien Iago forges a bond with official Venetian aliens like Rodrigo and Othello which "serves to underscore an unarticulated affinity felt between two sets of men," but which causes Iago to also feel "painful self-disgust" over his lot in life and forms a "compound impulse to stereotype" the Moor as an alien "devil" and to make him "wish to abuse each victim physically and mentally. (Hunt, 2003, p.2) "
