Othello, the Moor of Venice / William Shakespeare / Act V Scene i

“I have no great devotion to the deed, and yet he hath given me satisfying reasons,” (Shakespeare V.i.8-9).  Roderigo is the smartest of them all because is the first to suspect Iago of being untrustworthy. He also though is the one who has probably trusted Iago the longest.  Iago has stolen all his money to do something he has not actually done.  Iago is quick thinking to be able continually pull the wool over Roderigo’s eyes.  Women seem to be the down fall of the all the men in this play.  Roderigo hopes to win Desdemona’s heart but ends up losing his life because of it.  Iago has skillfully used Roderigo to distance himself from the crimes he has planes.  Iago then kills Roderigo to cover his tracks. Roderigo should have confronted Desdemona himself and he would have avoided all of his problems.  How did Iago become trustworthy is he is actually so deceitful.
