Throughout the whole play Iago basically acts as the brains of all the events and manipulates all the characters in one way or another. Iago's manipulation technique is first seen when he convinces Roderigo, who we see loves Desdemona tells him him that he can have her even though she is married to Othello.

O, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what
