Manipulation is seen in a negative light in society, but when used correctly, such as advertising, it can be quite effective. Although Iago is considered Othello's right-hand man, he uses connivance and manipulation to take revenge, shaping every strange event and event according to his cowardly plans. Iago enters Othello's mind and uses his jealousy and persecution as Moor against him. He controls Rodrigo and ultimately destroys his reputation and influences Cassio when he is depressed. Iago finds ways to manipulate multiple characters in Shakespeare's play Othello by using their flaws - jealousy, control, and pride - to get his needs and desires. Shakespeare's most evil character could probably be Iago. Othello has many positive traits, including being a great leader and loyal. . He also has a negative trait that ultimately leads to his death; jealousy. Iago causes deep and strong emotions in Othello, jealousy being the strongest. Jealousy is a nasty little emotion. It makes people do terrible things because once it's on a person's conscience, it stays for quite some time. Because of these effects, jealousy can impact some of the strongest people like Othello. The love between Desdemona and Othello was portrayed in such a high and pure way and was filled with religious words and phrases that only added to the strength and sanctity of their love. Othello has such a strong mind, but the jealousy caused by Iago's manipulation takes a toll on him. Iago convinces Othello that Desdemona is cheating on him with her friend Cassio. When Othello asks Iago for proof of Desdemona's deception, Iago describes scenes and events in which Othello has reason to be jealous. In Act III, Scene I Iago describes to Othello the imaginary relationship between Desdemona and Cassio: "It is impossible that you should see this / if they were excellent as goats, fiery as apes, salt as wolves in pride, and fools so gross" . like drunken ignorance." These images planted themselves in Othello's mind and haunted him until he did something about it. These images led Othello to believe that Desdemona truly loved. Through his suggestion to Cassio, Iago can now be certain that Cassio will beg Desdemona to petition for him with Othello. Cassio implores Desdemona and she replies: "Be sure, good Cassio, I will do all my abilities for you" (Act III, Scene III). Iago manages to get from Bianca the handkerchief that Othello gave to Desdemona and which had strawberry motifs. He then tells Othello to ask for the handkerchief and if she doesn't produce it, then she is cheating on him. Iago also manipulates Emilia's undeserved devotion. At the end of the play we learn that Iago “begged me to steal it” from Emilia. Like Desdemona's goodness, Iago exploits his own wife for his evil revenge. The handkerchief was the straw that broke the camel's back
