Bradley emphasizes on Iago having two faces and one can 't see through his lies. one of many examples is Emilia in all this time they are married she never dreamed that his the villain, not suspect who was poisoning Othello mind with scandals and that as Bradley say it "scoundrel" was her husband and for any doubts about this subject her words to Othello was displayed with tears and repeating "my husband" and then Othello realization is shown in "thy husband know it all" .

Twain shows how twisted the world is by using these characters to show how being morally wrong can take you farther than being a good person.

On the other hand both Tom and Daisy cheat without a care in the world of the repercussions or feelings of others because they have no sympathy for those entangled in their ordeals. Paul is a parallel of tom in a way he believes his way is right and him being rich he also believes that his reputation is high and always on the line so he has to one up everyone to show his dominance.

However as Iago brought in more false evidence through his schemes, Othello’s jealously started to manifest. Othello started to think that Cassio was sleeping with Desdemona. Othello’s believed he was a cuckold and started to lose more reasoning.

He is not concerned with honesty as he is willing to deceive Hero to win her heart for Claudio, in which Don Pedro asks, “Was’t not to this end that thou began’st to twist so fine a story?” (Shakespeare 1.1.305-6). He works at keeping the peace even when he is accused of stealing Hero for himself; he simply states that the rumors are false.
