Resumo de Recurso

Manipulation
  1. Iago plots with consummate sophistication, carefully manipulating Othello (without any real proof) into believing that Desdemona has been unfaithful. His understanding of the human psyche is phenomenal, as is his ability to orchestrate a complicated interweaving of pre-planned scenarios. Iago's deception is potent because of his patience, his cleverness, and what seems to be his intrinsic love of elegant manipulation
    1. IAGO
      1. '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 colour'

        Anotações:

        • Act 1, Scene 1
        1. When Iago corrupts and manipulates Brabantio's opinion of Desdemona, he uses the language of poison, which is appropriate given the natures of his manipulation
        2. 'But for my sport and profit, I hate the Moor, and it is thought abroad that 'twixt my sheets he has done my office. I know not if't be true, but I, for mere suspicion in that kind, will do as if for surety'

          Anotações:

          • Act 1, Scene 3
          1. Iago's motives for his manipulation of Othello. However, he seems to mix his motives. Earlier, he claimed that he wanted to manipulate Othello because he had promoted Cassio over him, whereas here, it is because Othello had slept with Iago's wife
          2. BRABANTIO: 'Look to her, Moor, if thou hast eyes to see. She has deceived her father, and may thee'

            Anotações:

            • Act 1, Scene 3
            1. Because Othello is made to believe the stereotype that because Desdemona deceived her father, she will most likely deceive him too (unruly daughters make for unruly wives), this means that Iago is able to manipulate him more easily
            2. 'If I can fasten but one cup upon him with that which he hath drunk tonight already, he'll be as full of quarrel and offence as my young mistress' dog'

              Anotações:

              • Act 2, Scene 3
              1. Shows Iago's manipulation of Cassio as he plans to manipulate Cassio into drinking because he knows about Cassio's drinking problem. He knows that in the long term, Desdemona will intervene on his behalf, only adding to Othello's jealousy and suspicion
            3. BRABANTIO
              1. 'O, thou foul thief, where hast thou stowed my daughter? Damned as thou art, thou has enchanted her!...That thou has practiced on her with foul charms, abused her delicate youth with drugs or minerals'
                1. Brabantio believes that Othello would not have been able to win over Desdemona unless he had put her under a spell (manipulated her)
              2. SAILOR: 'The Turkish preparation makes for Rhodes. So was I bid for report here to the state by Signior Angelo.' DUKE OF VENICE: 'Nay, in all confidence, he's not for Rhodes.' MESSENGER: 'Of thirty sail; and now they do restem their backward course, bearing with frank appearance their purposes toward Cyprus'
                1. The deception the Turkish navy attempts – appearing as though they are going to attack Rhodes, when actually they want Cyprus – parallels the sneakier, interpersonal deceptions going on in the play
