“[…] The Moor, howbeit that I endure him not,/ Is of a constant, loving, noble nature,/ And I dare think he’ll prove to Desdemona/ A most dear husband” (2.1 40).
Iago’s statement once again enforces the concept of him truly being the embodiment of evil. Iago realizes Othello to be a respected, moral, and loving. Iago decides that he hates Othello anyway. His hatred for Othello, however, seems to lack intercity. Iago fails to provide good reason for hating Othello. It seems to be mere jealousy or perhaps a sick game that Iago conducts. It is almost as if Iago has chosen Othello at random to be the victim of his game. Iago wants to use people like Rodrigo and Cassio to angry Othello while he remains in good will with Othello. Iago enjoys creating strife and chaos for others for the sheer purpose of testing his ability to manipulate others.
Question: Why does Iago hate Othello so much? If so, is his reason practical?
