In the case of Shakespeare's Othello the outsider from humanity would be Iago for he truly stands out from the rest of society.

He is not merely manipulative, as other ...

    2,346 words
    Iago is perhaps one of the most intriguing and heinous villains in Shakespeare. Iago is on stage from the very beginning of the play Othello and he dominates and dictates the action from then onwards.
