Iago (/iˈɑːɡoʊ/) is a fictional character in Shakespeare's Othello (c. 1601–1604). However, Iago only mentions this motivation very briefly, and it does not seem to fully explain the depth of his hatred toward Othello. What you know, you know.

There, the character is simply "the ensign". He argues that since Desdemona has committed her crimes in bed, by sleeping with other men, she should also die in bed.

Iago hates Othello and devises a plan to destroy him by making him believe that his wife is having an affair with his lieutenant, Michael Cassio. The quote shows that from the moment the action begins, Iago is already looking for ways to bring about Othello’s downfall. I didn't want to play him as initially malevolent.
