Iago is portrayed as the most villainous character throughout all of Shakespeare's plays and poems. At first in the early scene of Othello we see Iago expressing his evilness and scheming ways through racism towards Othello and his manipulative skills to Roderigo. Throughout the first scene we are led to witness Iago's blatant two faced personality, in one line he is congratulating Othello and then in another he is viciously insulting Othello,

"Or else the devil will make grandsire of you"

However it is not until the later scenes that we see the really and full evolved evilness In Iago show its evil face.

In act 2 scene 3 Iago speech, we learn about the real evil yet paranoid Iago. We learn this in his speech where he starts to plot the demise of Othello and anybody else who plans to get in his way. Though we have learnt that Iago is truly evil personified, Iago feels that he needs to justify himself,

"And whats he then that says I play the villain

What this advice is free I give and honest"

The fact that Iago feels that he has to justify himself makes you realise that this man i

sn't just evil but probably pertly insane as well,

He has started to take on his true role; he has discarded what he said to be his false face on goodness and honesty, "At first with heavenly shows". To revealing his true nature as "the blackest of sins put on". Now Iago's plot really starts to unfold he is going to play with Othello's anger, protectiveness and possessiveness over Desdemona to bring down Othello.

So will I turn her virtue into pitch".

Throughout the whole of Act 2 Scene 3 in Iago's speech we really do learn and witness that Iago is truly evil personified and equal to the devil in his plotting scheming ways.
