Despise me if I do not. Three great ones of the city (In personal suit to light upon me his lieutenant). Iago is infuriated with Othellos neglect of him, Shakespeare creates this foreshadow of a tragic outcome early on, but he misleads the audience into thinking that Iagos language is justified. Furthering Iagos support from the Elizabethans is that Othello is seen as an outsider.In Aristotle theory of poetics one of the main themes of tragedy are the aspect of awe and feel for, and that the protagonist is not introduced straight away. The audience automatically feels pity for poor Iago, as he has to beg Roderigo for money and has been deprived a promotion and beca drop Othello is not primarily introduced he has no way of proving his justification for ap guideing Cassio.

Shakespeare showed the transformation in Iagos language when he was interacting with other characters. This presented the audiences ontogeny distrust. However articulate Othello is commanding, but arrogant Keep up your bright swords for the dew will rust them confident in his speech, he wooed virtuous Desdemona with his enchanting war stories.Shakespeare wanted the audience to be in awe of Othello and pity evoked for Iago in Act 1 Scene 2 allowing the audience to empathise.
