Iago Character Analysis

"When my outward action doth demonstrate
The native act and figure of my heart
In complement extern, tis not long after
But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
For daws to peck at. I am not what I am."

"The Moor is of a free and open nature
That thinks men honest that but seem to be so;
And will as tenderly be led by th' nose
As asses are."

"Oh heavy ignorance! Thou praisest the worst best."

"Her eye must be fed."

"I'll [...] make the Moor thank me, love me, and reward me
For making him egregiously an ass."

"Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul
But I do love thee! And when I love thee not,
Chaos is come again."

"Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls.
Who steals my purse steals trash; tis something, nothing;
Twas mine, tis his, and has been slave to thousands.
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him
And makes me poor indeed"

"O, beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock
The meat it feeds on."

"This honest creature doubtless
Sees and knows more, much more, than he unfolds."

"This fellow's of exceeding honesty,
And knows all qualities, with a learned spirit
Of human dealings."

"Be sure of it; give me the ocular proof."

"Her honor is an essence that's not seen;
They have it very oft that have it not."

"I told him what I thought, and told no more
Than what he found himself was apt and true."
