Act 1 Scene 1 is the first time that you begin to see Iago’s true colors and his obsession with ruining Othello’s life. “Call up her father, rouse him, make after him, poison his delight, proclaim him in the streets; incense her kinsmen, and, though he in a fertile climate dwell, plague him with flies. Though that his joy be joy, yet throw such changes of vexation on’t, as it may lose some color.” In the story Desdemona’s father is actually originally quite fond of Othello and often invited him over to tell his life stories. These life stories he would tell were so incredible and inspirational that the few Desdemona heard caused her to fall in love with Othello and want to marry him. The way his character is described it actually seems very hard not to admire Othello. It seems that the only reason Iago hates Othello so much is because of his jealousy driven delusions of him sleeping with his wife Emilia. Iago states that he wishes to rouse him and poison his delight. He is attempting to get Brabantio, Desdemona’s father, to get so angry at Othello that he wants to kill him himself. When Brabantio hears that his daughter is having sex with Othello he becomes enraged and decides to go to the Duke and asking him to listen to what he has to say about Othello sleeping with his daughter. If the Duke wasn’t such a smart and understanding man and gave the two a change to explain themselves perhaps Iago’s original plan to get Brabantio to kill Othello would’ve worked. This is the first passage in which is fairly obvious that Iago is up to no good and will be nothing but problems for Othello which proves to be the right assumption in the end.
