Othello Journal 3

I think its really interesting how intelligent Iago is. For one he not only has the ability to manipulate Roderigo as seen by him totally following his every command. The other example is him being able to manipulate everyone else around him such as Brabantio, Othello, Desdemona etc. So not only does he manipulate others---He manipulates others into manipulating others. It almost seems like its "blind love" vs "guided knowledge". Iago would be the "guided knowledge" in the sense that he knows exactly what he wants and he's very smart. The blind love would be Othello and Desdemona due to their love for complete love for each other.
