- 4026: Iago's Motivation
- ... such scurvy and provoking terms\ Against your Honor (I, ii 1-10). These sentences are obvious lies (to the reader), but they are crucial to the saboteur because they present Iago to Othello as a brave, loyal, and moral person. Iago indirectly and cleverly portrays himself as a man ready to fight and brave enough to kill; yet, he also wants Othello to believe that he would not kill without just reason. Iago pretends to be so loyal as to be tempted to kill any slanderer of Othello. It is evident that Othello has complete faith in Iago's claims as he states "thou'rt full of love and honesty" and "O brave Iago, honest and just" (III, iii 136\IV, i 34). Iago douses more dishonesty onto other characters such as Cassio who trusts Iago: "You advise me well\. . .\ Goodnight, honest Iago," and Desdemona who calls ...

Faustus believed that through necromancy (magic) he could have even more, "A world of profit and delight, Of power, of honour, of omnipotence" (page 5, 1.1.1-2).
