Reflections on Character-Iago

• Because of this he doesn’t seem to be very self-confident in himself.
Also I think to myself and ask if Iago is a coward, manipulating Roderigo to do his dirty work such as telling Brabantio and killing Cassio for him, also the fact that he killed his own wife to stop her from revealing his sins, yet, his is brave enough to have the thought of killing a general and bringing Othello’s downfall.
