Although supposedly Othello's inferior, Iago is certainly the villain and antagonist of the play. With his splenetic personality, Iago tries to seek revenge upon Othello for not promoting his position in ranks. In a very furtive way, he proves his dissident to his military leader. Iago cleverly schemed against his eclectic Moorish leader.
In the end, Iago expediently manipulates Othello to murder his wife. In his fastidious plan, Iago makes sure that nothing goes wrong. He goes through several people such as Emilia, Roderigo, and Cassio in order to execute his plan. Several people had to die in the process, and the outcome was pernicious.
Before we even began reading Othello, Mrs. Abrams asked if it is a worse crime to suborn someone or actually commit the crime yourself. I believe it is worse to convince someone to commit a crime, and Iago is certainly guilty of this.
