Iago

Okay so I haven't expressed yet how much I hate Iago, so I'm gonna go for it now. Iago is scum in every way possible. His jokes about women are inappropriate, and the way he treats his wife is awful. And then when he stabs her in Act V...what a coward. One of the things I hate most, though is the way he presents an argument. In Act IV, he talks to Othello about the supposed affair between Desdemona and Cassio, but he can't just come out and say what he wants to say. He hesitates on purpose with "Faith, that he did--I know not what he did" (IV.i.31) and "Lie--" (IV.i.33) just to make Othello lose his mind. Iago is incredibly smart, and I'll give him that, but his entire character is infuriating.
