DECEPTION

Iago's deceit escalated with every lie and resulted with the ones who trusted him most dead.

THANK YOU!

Emilia:

"O thou dull Moor! That handkerchief thou speak’st of I found by fortune and did give my husband. For often, with a solemn earnestness—more than indeed belonged to such a trifle—he begged of me to steal it." Act 5 Scene 2 Lines 231-234

Emilia exposes Iago's deception towards Othello with the shocking truth.

Iago: "Now will I question Cassio of Bianca,

a huswife that by selling her desires

buys herself bread and clothes. It is a creature that dotes on Cassio, as ’tis the strumpet’s plague to beguile many and be beguiled by one.He, when he hears of her, cannot refrain from the excess of laughter. Here he comes."Act 4 Scene 1 Lines 93- 99

Cassio is not the only one laughing, so is Iago.

IAGO:

What if I had said I had seen him do you wrong?

Or heard him say—as knaves be such abroad,

Who having, by their own importunate suit,

Or voluntary dotage of some mistress,

Convincèd or supplied them, cannot choose

But they must blab—

OTHELLO:

Hath he said any thing?

IAGO:

He hath, my lord, but be you well assured

No more than he’ll unswear. Act 4 Scene 1 Lines 24-31

Lodovico: "O Spartan dog,

more fell than anguish, hunger, or the sea,

look on the tragic loading of this bed.

This is thy work. The object poisons sight,

let it be hid." Act 5 Scene 2 Lines 367-370

Emilia telling Othello of how she gave Iago the strawberry embroidered handkerchief.

Iago stages the final piece of proof to force Othello into a murderous state.

The photo above shows how Iago

is whispering Othello's greatest fears in his ear. As a result Othello is suffering tremendously.

In Conclusion...

Lodovico is telling Iago that he is an evil man and that he should look at the suffering he has caused due to his deceit.

Iago has gained complete control over Othello through jealousy and deceit.

The snake represents Iago and how everyong sees him.

This lie gave Othello physical "proof" that Desdemona was having an affair. Iago went to great lengths to achieve that level of deceit.

to create that "proof".

Iago:

" Were I the Moor I would not be Iago.

In following him I follow but myself;

Heaven is my judge, not I for love and duty,

But seeming so for my peculiar end.

For when my outward action doth demonstrate the native act and figure of my heart in compliment 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." (I.i.57–65) Act 1 Scene 1 Lines 54-62

Iago: "I know not, that; but such a handkerchief- I am sure it was your wife-did I today see Cassio wipe his beard with." Act 3 Scene 4 lines 437-439

This image represents how the handkerchief fell into the wrong hands.

This quote shows Iago's dark side before

he commits his crimes. He is confirming that

he will be deceitful towards the Moor. This is how the snowball of lies began.

The mask represents how Iago will

be putting on a fake persona of a trustworthy

friend.

Iago said this during his first scam. This is the next big step of deceit Iago took in order to destroy Othello. This scam resulted in Cassio losing his career while Iago became closer with Othello.

Iago composes a terrible lie to push Othello into insanity. Knowing that Othello will not be able to control his anger.

How Iago's lies snowballed into an infectious poison that killed innocent

lives.

Iago: "I do not know. Friends all but now, even now, in quarter, and in terms like bride and groom divesting them for bed. And then, but now, as if some planet had unwitted men, Swords out, and tilting one at other’s breasts in opposition bloody. I cannot speak any beginning to this peevish odds, and would in action glorious I had lost

Those legs that brought me to a part of it." Act 2 Scene 3 lines 169-177

This photo shows how Iago

is at Othello's side and is gradually

gaining his trust.

The image below represents the illusion of adultery that Iago explained to Othello.

Iago: In sleep I heard him say "Sweet Desdemona, let us be wary, let us hide our love!" And then, sir, would he gripe and wring my hand, cry "O sweet creature!" then kiss me hard, as if he plucked up kisses by the roots that grew upon my lips, laid his leg o'er my thigh, and sigh, and kiss, and then cry "Cursèd fate that gave thee to the Moor!" Act 3 Scene 3 lines 418-426

Iago: "I will in Cassio’s lodging lose this napkin and let him find it. Trifles light as air

Are to the jealous confirmations strong

As proofs of holy writ. This may do something.The Moor already changes with my poison.Dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons which at the first are scarce found to distaste,but with a little act upon the blood burn like the mines of sulfur." Act 3 Scene 3 Lines 322- 329

His deceit towards Othello reaches new heights when he personally sabotages Cassio's and Desdemona's relationship with Othello, by planting Desdemona's stolen handkerchief in Cassio's room.

Iago: "Oh, beware, my lord, of jealousIt is the green

eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger,but, oh, what damnèd minutes tells he o'er who dotes, yet doubts— suspects, yet soundly loves! Act 3 Scene 3 lines 167-172

I chose this image of Iago because it shows how Iago stirs up drama, then sits back and enjoys the show he created.

Iago has told Othello about his

suspicions and is urging him not to be jealous. But this is a form of reverse psychology and he is burying the seed of fear in Othello's mind

Pinocchio represents how Iago's lies are piling up.

Iago: "I had rather have this tongue cut from my mouth than it should do offense to Micheal Cassio; yet I persuade myself to speak the truth shall nothing wrong him."Act 2 Scene 3 Lines 211-214

Iago's lies are beginning to pile up and he says it with ease.

This image represents how Othello's vision is clouded with jealousy.
