Main Characters

Characters:

Iago- quite evil in reality, but makes it look to others as though he is the most honest, good hearted soul in the entire play.  He does this by making it look like he is helping everyone individually, but he actually just has a master plan to gain as much power and money as he can for himself while being a coward. 

Othello- Very good and loyal to all characters in the play until he is influenced by Iago’s evil, which makes him perform a very evil task (murdering his wife). 

Desdimona- Good throughout the play by being honest, patient and loyal but was killed because Iago convinced Othello that she was no longer good and honest. 

Cassio-Good throughout the play, but one slip of actions in the beginning costs him his reputation which he is trying time and time again to regain throughout the play.  Other characters in the play see him as “Good Cassio” (A 5,S 2,L 115).
