__**Comment on the following statement:**__

Wouldn't this play be better off called Iago? Every time I return to the text, I am floored by Iago' s audacity, sense of purpose and sheer force of will. From the opening lines, where his manipulation of Roderigo sets the tragic events in motion, through his fiendishly clever and opportunistic machinations on Othello, to his mutely triumphant refusal to explain the motivation for his actions at the play's resolution, it is Iago's dark heart which drives the drama towards it's inevitable conclusion.
