Othello

     There is a lot of conflict in Act V of Othello by William Shakespeare.  Iago tells Roderigo to kill Cassio and that he would help.  What happens though is that Iago kills both Cassio and Roderigo.  Iago was smart to plan this during the night so he could do just that.  He calls Roderigo a "murderous slave! Oh, villain!" (V.i.62).  This gives him a back up plan to explain things.  His plan fails him when Emilia shows everyone the true villain that Iago is.  I would say that he is on of the greatest villains out there.  He used manipulation and tricks to convince others horrible things.  He was pretty smart in planning his revenge.  He used his title of honesty to his advantage never stating exact facts when explaining situations.  Iago caused tons of conflict among himself and others.  In the end, all of it back fired on him.
