I find Roderigo to be the most naive and gullible. He absorbs all of Iago's lies like a sponge. He is so blinded by love that he's willing to risk anything and believe anything. Although, Iago is certainly a great deceiver..... Roderigo believes him because he's love sick and ready to believe anything. Unlike Othello, who may be deceived by Iago.... but who is deceived as a result of his own great pride.
