Iago is a confident
person. When he talks he wants people to know he is always right and he knows
everything. “I say, put money in thy purse.” He is telling Roderigo to
bet on it, that he will help him and they will get good results. When Iago
speaks, it feels he is always pretending and he want to make other people look
bad, for him to look superior. He insult people, he is racist and doesn’t like
anyone. “These Moors are changeable in their wills”. He says the moor will
switch of woman easily, because that what all black guys do. Depending on the
people he is with, he criticizes. I believe he criticize because he is unsecure
about himself and criticizing helps him hide it. “Nay, it is true, or else I am a Turk:
You rise to
play and go to bed to work.” Most of the word he says is to make fun of people. Iago is a liar, and a hypocrite.
People trust Iago, because he tell them what they want to hear. Depending who he is with, he acts different. He makes you feel important and that he is the key for success. For example with Roderigo he tells him he can help him, and he will get results. "It cannot be that Desdemona should long continue her love to the Moor". Iago says that to Roderigo to make him feel better, as if there was no problem. Iago wants to look as the hero and he says it in a way Roderigo feels comfortable and attached to him. He knows the words to say to make people think he is on their side, and they respect him. "when she is sated with his body, she will find the error of her choice" Iago tries to convince Roderigo that everything is going to get in his favor.
