Manipulation
Iago manipulates Cassio
POINT
: Iago manipulates Cassio by using his weakness, anger, to deceive him into commiting acts that later downsighted him in the eyes of Othello.
EVIDENCE
: "do you find some occasion to anger Cassio" "Sir, he's rash and very sudden in choler, and haply may strike at you" -Act 2 scene 1
EXPLANATION
: Iago said this to Roderigo as his plan to use Cassio and take his revenge on Othello. Iago mentions in this plan how he wants to get Cassio drunk and use his anger against him to get him fired. Iago tells Roderigo to find a way to get Cassio drunk so he can use his anger to get him fired. This is one of the examples of the trait of manipulation shown in Iago's personality
Iago manipulates Othello
POINT
: Munipulation is a key trait in the play Othello and is mainly shown between Iago and Othello as Iago manipulates Othello into believing Desdemona was unfaithfull towards him
EXPLANATION
: Iago manipulates Othello by suggesting that Desdemona was being unfaithful towards Othello. Iago digs deep on Othello's insecurity and targets his wife making the fact 'desdemona is having an Affair with Cassio' believable by hesitating to make it sound guilty.
EVIDENCE
: “she did deceive her father marrying you, and when she seemed to shake and fear for your looks” “i hope you will consider what is spoke comes from my love” “One may small in such a will most rank, foul disproportions, thoughts unnatural" "Therefore as i am bound, Receive it from me. I speak not yet of proof"
Iago manipulates Roderigo
Iago uses Roderigo for money by tricking him into thinking he will get Desdemona
Put money in thy purse. Follow thou the wars, defeat thy favor with an usurped beard. I say, put money in thy purse. It cannot be long that Desdemona should continue her love to the Moor—put money in thy purse—nor he his to her. It was a violent commencement in her, and thou shalt see an answerable sequestration—put but money in thy purse.

She was definitely a sincere and devoted wife who’s joy came from his and his pleasure.

Emilia and Iago's relationship
POINT
: Point - Emilia's relationship with Iago really seems like a marriage made in hell. Iago constantly mocks and disrespects her. He never seems to offer her any affection or care and he always talks trash about women in general. Despite this Emilia seems eager to please him as she did by helping him receive the one and only handkerchief.
EVIDENCE
: Evidence - “Come on, come on. You are pictures out of door, bells in your parlors, wild-cats in your kitchens, saints in your injuries, devils being offended, players in your housewifery, and housewives in your beds.”
EXPLANATION
: This quote exactly represents how disrespectful Iago was towards Women and because of his nature being like this he never treated Emilia the way she deserved. He was talking to Desdemona mostly referring to Emilia and despite knowing he was like this she was still stunned by how far he took it.
Gender inequality is evident from the start of the play where we can see the example of how unmarried woman were considered their fathers property through desdemona
