Quote
Iago"She that was ever fair, and never proud;/Had tongue at will, and yet was never loud;/Never lacked gold, and yet went never gay;/Fled from her wish, and yet said 'Now I may';/She that being angered, her revenge being nigh,/Bade her wrong stay, and her displeasure fly;/She that in wisdom never was so frail/To change the cod's head for the salmon's tail;/She that could think, and nev'r disclose her mind;/See suitors following, and not look behind:/She was a wright (if ever such wights were)-"(35)
Significance
This is an important passage because ...well...it rhymes. This obviously is a red flag to Iago's ego (heh, 'Iago's ego'...) because he is cutting down his wife because he feels that he deserves better. This shows that he has the audacity to talk about his own wife, behind her back, to the woman that he thinks would better suit him.
Question
On the outsides, it seems that Iago is helping Roderigo, acting against Othello and Desdemona for Roderigo, but is he just using Roderigo as a pawn? Someone to just doing all his dirty work and keep his own hands clean?
