Iago thinks that a person must have experiences in wars and battles with an additional experience in general knowledge as he himself got into the position on this basis while Cassio is simply a tactician and a scholar. Iago uses his leadership position to begin a raging campaign against Othello and Cassio.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Iago is a character developed by Shakespeare in the play "Othello". He is defined as a manipulative man who develops strategies and plans to destroy the lives of those who wronged him.
- The rage starts when Iago becomes upset about not being promoted and seeks revenge on Othello (his head lieutenant) and Cassio the person who took his position.
- Othello is defined as a confident leader in the play and a person who is very much needed by the government.
- Iago feels that he is more qualified than Cassio for the position and that he was betrayed by Othello.
- Iago was the third-ranking officer under Othello.
