Iago expresses he “hates the Moor” (I, iii, 368) because Othello gave the promotion to Cassio instead of him. Although a good reason to dislike Othello, not receiving a promotion should not lead to the conclusion of the murder of Othello. To continue, Iago explains that “it is thought abroad that ’twixt [his] sheets/ [Othello] done [his] office. [he] know not if’t be true, /But for mere suspicion in that kind, /Will do as if for surety” (I, iii, 324-327) to give another reason for his hatred. Iago admits that he has no proof of Othello’s crime against him, but he still states it as a reason for his hatred.

Iago uses very clever methods of persuasion and manipulation aimed to use Othello’s hamartia against him, pointing out that “ “She (Desdemona) did deceive her father, marrying you,” so much so that Brabantio “thought ’twas witchcraft”. Through this, Iago is subtly raising the issues of Othello’s cultural differences with Desdemona; a root cause behind Othello’s insecurities with his wife – along with inadequacy due to race, degree of sophistication and age. As Iago prompts Othello to think the worst, his utterances are short and uneasy, revealing the beginning to his downfall, whilst Iago’s dialogue is at length highlighting his growing power of

There are two types of mindsets, a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. According to Dweck, people with a fixed mindset believe that they either are or are not good at something based on their natural born nature because it’s just who they are. However, people with growth mindset believe that basic qualities can be cultivated through effort (Dweck, 52). In a fixed mindset, people stick to what they know in order to avoid failure and boost their confidence whereas people with a growth mindset seek out new opportunities and challenge themselves to grow. A growth mindset creates motivation whereas a fixed mindset leads to sameness. Based on Dweck’s definition of growth mindset, finding new ways to be better and improve oneself is possible. With a growth mindset comes the belief that anyone can be good at anything because ability is tied to action and skills come from practice. A major belief of growth mindset is that failure is a major key to success and the improvement
