moves them slightly away from being pawns of the
villain. Success in others runs contrary to the
purpose of a villain. By turning every victory
into a defeat, by spoiling every triumph, the

Lines 30 32 Pathological Jealousy Iago

Othello: The Pathological Jealously of Iago Iago's
crimes define pathological jealousy and a sheer
desire for revenge. His acts are pre-meditated and
have reasons. In various soliloquies, he reveals
grudges that, while mostly false or overblown,
present themselves as clear to Iago. Iago masters
duplicity, even remarking himself I am not what I
am. (line 67) Many of his dark motives are
probably concealed from the audience. In his few
soliloquies, he presents definitive motives for
his vengeful d...
