· “the most unbearably exciting” of Shakespeare’s tragedies
· Iago is a seductive character as “his victims lack humour, Iago appeals to us as more amusing”
· Shakespeare’s “dramatic perspective compels us to see with his eyes, and to share his ‘jokes’. His humour makes him seem cleverer than his victims”
· Iago’s humour “either intends to give pain or allows him to bask in his sense of his own superiority…very rarely at his own expense”
· Iago “enjoys a godlike sense of power”
