Iago is an expert at manipulation as well as appealing to the primal desires and fears of men. Iago has planted the seeds of doubt and desire in characters like Othello and Roderigo in order to do his bidding. He feigns loyalty and affection when he needs to and is able to set a false narrative in play.
