To clearly illustrate Iago's manipulations as a skeptic, Othello and Desdemona are the puppeteer's latest targets to take down. Both Othello and Desdemona suffer “from the idols of the theater” (Aph 44, Bacon 152). Bacon defines the idols of the theater as “idols immigrated into the minds of men from the various dogmas and philosophies, and also from the wrong laws of demonstration” (Aph 44, Bacon 152). Othello appears to have clear principles that he sticks to and when it is shown that his principles do not allow him to have the life he thought he would adopt a different set of principles that he follows out of revenge. “Cassius, my lord! No, of course, I cannot think that, That he would go away as guilty as, Seeing you arrive” (Act 3, Scene 3). This“But for my sport and my profit. I hate the Moor, and abroad it is thought that between my sheets, I have fulfilled my office. I know not whether it is true, but I, for mere suspicion in this kind” (Act 1, scene 3). As for this quote, Iago made the villain not only all the other main characters in the play, but also himself. The character of Iago was a true genius who appealed to the idols of each main character by convincing them that his offer was just a good idea of ​​honest Iago. However, this honest Iago is the duality of nature shown by Iago and created by his skeptical ideals. The villain becomes his own villain, leading to his death. This Shakespearean play reflects the point of view of those who lived during the Renaissance with the concept of living daily life as skeptics. Instead of being skeptical of religion, the characters in this play became skeptical of each other, thus falling for Iago's machinations. This leads to the question of Iago's motivation at the end of the play which he refuses to reveal. Iago had an unhealthy obsession with Othello and whether underneath all the hatred he had for him there was a secret love, one way or another, only Shakespeare knows, but he is still an evil genius.
