Iago As A Tragic Hero In Shakespeare's Othello

The antigenic is the other half of the protagonist. Sometimes as the reverse of everything the protagonist stand for and believe in, or planning and scheming to ruin the life or end the main character. Frequently, it shows the background of the antigenic either justifying his motives and actions or a scene with showing his inner self to understand his personality. The way that the villains displayed could explain an issue in life that the audience relates to and the hero must face. Even though, sporadically the antigenic give a speech or take a decision that outshines and obtain attention than the protagonist from readers and critics.
