“Iago belongs to a select group of villains in Shakespeare who, while plausibly motivated in human terms, also take delight in evil for its own sake” (Bevington, 2014, p 607).

Throughout the entire book of All the King's Men, Warren describes blackmailing through two views: the blackmailers themselves who support threats as logic and those being blackmailed who view threats as unethical.
