Revenge throughout the play is presented to be dishonourable, as it goes against Christian teachings of goodness. Iago is seen as egotistical, duplicitous in nature, unnatural, and destructive. This raises religious concerns, as Iago’s character and drive to destroy Othello reflects Vice figures (a semi-secularised devil who destroys the virtuous) from English morality plays . For example, Othello calls his plans the work of a "semi-devil" who "hath thus ensnared [his] soul and body" (Act 5 Scene 2). Furthermore, before he can stab the villain, he asserts: "If that thou beest a devil, I cannot kill thee" (Act 5 Scene 2). The killing of Desdemona can also be seen as a religious symbol; by killing her, he reenacts the Fall as he kills his good "angel" (Act 5 Scene 2) due to falling for demonic temptations. Religious language is prevalent throughout the play, damning Iago and saving Desdemona.
