Answer: Some literary critics point out that Lago has devilish characteristics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lago is the opposite of the divine. Medieval and Renaissance performances of the devil characterize this Shakespearean character. Lago is a liar, telling an imaginative story to manipulate people and bring them to destruction, and sees the most significant vulnerabilities of others and uses them to destroy them. Lago does it all out of love for evil.

He loves when others serve him, especially when they do it unconsciously. Because of his obsession and control over other people, every segment of his life will be imbued with these characteristics. Lago always destroys other lives to ruin his own ultimately. Lago is a hypocrite and a destructive person.
