Ever ything Iago says to Othello to rouse h im is working to manipulate Othello. YouTube Video. Iago Manipulat ing Cassio.
Iago manipulates Cassio by convincing Cassio to drink, knowing that Cassio vulnerability is getting mouthy when he is drunk. Iago knows that this can cause Cassio to get fired. Iago says "O, they are our friends, In William Shakespeare's Othello, Iago reflects the traits of a machiavellian who manipulates others for his own interest. Iago easily exploits other character's strength and. His evil is exposed through his choice of words, his ability to manipulate people, and his opportunistic ways.
One of them is known as Iago. Many people argue that Iago was the protagonist but that simply is not true. People also think that since Iago manipulates Othello, they think the reasoning behind this is because Iago truly thinks he is being honest, kind and steering him onto the right path. This is not right since Iago knows what he is doing. Iago is the villain because he does not respect Desdemona.
However, Othello is not completely void of responsibility for the death of his wife. Othello, the tragic hero, is just as responsible as Iago for his premeditated murder of Desdemona due to his own internal flaws. Specifically, flaws such as his vivid imagination and his self over-idealization are brought to the surface by Iago, which consequently.
For the time Othello was set in, 16th century Elizabethan society held strong socioeconomic roles that governed social statuses. In the case of Othello, a general of the Venetian army, and Iago, one of his trusted advisors, that power struggle is the force that dominants the play and leads to the disastrous and memorable ending.
The Significance of Act 3 Scene 3 of William Shakespeare's Othello Othello was written by Shakespeare around and was set 35 years previously to that time around during the Elizabethan era.
Shakespeare got the idea for the play from the Italian Novella 'Gli Hecatommithi' and only changed minor details slightly. He kept the same plot but some of the characters and themes in the play were very different. In act 1 scene 1, Iago starts to manipulate Othello straight away. Iago is speaking to Roderigo about how he despises Othello and wants revenge.
Iago refers to Othello as 'it' or 'him' never speaking his name, this is used to make Iago sound more devious, and to give more effect to the scene. Iago carries on and says that he also hates Cassio for getting 'his job' by being promoted to lieutenant ahead of him, a promotion, Iago feels, should have belonged to him.
Iago vows that he will get revenge upon Othello and Cassio, "I follow him to serve my turn upon him. Yet I persuade myself to tell the truth. This is dramatic irony, as Iago caused the fight and is giving Othello a false image of friendship. Cassio loses his job, and he asks Desdemona to convince Othello to give him his job back. This makes Othello suspicious of their relationship, as Desdemona is constantly telling Othello to give Cassio his job back.
Othello goes to talk to Iago, and asks him what he knows about Cassio and Desdemona's relationship. Iago tells very little, often repeating himself to try and make Othello want to know more. Iago acts concerned for Othello and tells him that there is a seed of doubt in Othello's mind, "O beware of jealousy, it is the green-eyed monster which doth mark the meat it feeds on. This is dramatic irony as Iago was the person who planted the doubt in Othello's mind to begin with.
Iago continues to play mind game with Othello by making him doubt Desdemona's innocence, "Look at your wife; observe her well with Cassio; wear your eyes thus, not jealous nor secure. Iago continues to build up Othello's suspicions by stating, "She did deceive her father, marrying you. Othello then gets really paranoid about Desdemona and Cassio's friendship, which is exactly how Iago was trying to make him think.
This shows that Othello is totally under Iago's control. Iago carries on to manipulate Othello's mind, he keeps manipulating him so much that Othello starts to doubt his reasons for marriage, "Why did I marry? She explains how Iago has managed to manipulate people up to the deaths of Roderigo, Desdemona, and the serious injury of Cassio. Soon Iago, Montano and Gratiano and others enter. Emilia confesses to Iago that she has told Othello about his evil deeds and sly manipulation, and Iago denies it, trying to make himself appear innocent as usual.
Emilia continues, and gets Iago so wound up that Iago kills his wife. Othello gets so heartbroken by finding out that Desdemona was innocent, and it was all Iago's manipulation that convinced him otherwise, that he kills himself out of grief.
In the final speech, Iago is being sentenced to torture for all his crimes, "The time, the place, the torture, O' I enforce it. Othello was the main focus of Iago's manipulation. Iago manages to make Othello feel that Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio. He manipulates Bianca by making her find the handkerchief, a wedding present from Othello to Desdemona. Iago very cleverly manipulated every character subtly without them realising until the damage had been done.
Iago managed this by using rhetoric in his manipulation. He uses Ethos - the use of an authority or educator to break up arguments - and he uses Pathos - the use of emotive language and imagery to add dramatic effect - and finally Logos - the use of logic, data and statistics. He carefully uses all of these on all characters throughout the play to bring about their deaths.
An example of Ethos was when Iago talks to Montano about Othello and Cassio's drink problem, an example of Pathos is when Iago talks to Brabantio about Othello and Desdemona's marriage, and an example of Logos is when Bianca is seen with the handkerchief by Othello. All of this clever and sly manipulation leads to the downfall of several characters, and the imprisonment of himself, which was unplanned. Othello page 1 of
