Iago
If you like this character, let us know!
Iago est un personnage de la pièce Othello ou le Maure de Venise de William Shakespeare.

Iago est un officier au service du général vénitien Othello. Ce dernier a une totale confiance en lui, mais Iago le hait secrètement : il est persuadé que sa femme, Emilia, le trompe avec Othello, et est mécontent d'avoir été supplanté par Cassio pour une promotion. La pièce voit Iago employer toute sa ruse à détruire Othello, en lui faisant croire que sa femme Desdémone le trompe avec Cassio. Fou de jalousie, Othello finit par tuer sa femme, mais les plans de Iago sont révélés par Emilia et il est arrêté, tandis qu'Othello se suicide.

L'« honnête » Iago est l'un des personnages les plus maléfiques et machiavéliques de l'œuvre de Shakespeare. Avec 1 097 vers, il est celui qui parle le plus de toute la pièce, devant Othello lui-même.

With only a few exceptions, the film follows the same plot as the opera. Iago plots and brings about Otello's downfall by convincing him that his wife Desdemona is engaged in an affair with the young lieutenant Cassio, provoking Otello to murder her in a blind rage. However, in a major change from the opera, Otello kills Iago at the end by throwing a spear at him, while in the stage version he only wounds him with his sword.
