Iago is the archatypical villain
Iago is the archatypical villain; this point stands true only when compared to more modern literature. In essence, Iago's persona and the evil that drives him is not a new concept to literature. However, Iago's behavior and plotting can be considered a literary archetype when applied to more contemporary villains. Using the word 'contemporary' loosely, villains from Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist and Great Expectations, George Orwell's Animal Farm, and from the movie Ghost will be compared to behavioral standards set by the honest Iago. Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist is a tale of the social injustices in England, during the early 1800's. Dickens' second novel tells the story of the orphan Oliver set against the seamy underside of the London criminal world. The main villain Fagin, is a crafty old Jew who ran a band of young thieves. Fagin's character is introduced when the main character, Oliver Twist, takes up with Fagin's band of thieves. Fagin's deeds are like Iago in that he exploits others to achieve his goals. Iago subtly manipulated Othello's court to accomplish his goal of revenge against Othello, whereas Fagin directly manipulated his recruited thieves to do his dirty work and earn him money. The primary pa
Miss Havisham is the adopted mother of a fair and beautiful young lady Estella. Both Fagin and Iago demonstrate a lack of conscience and integrity. Napoleon uses rumors and Snowball's own actions to sway the farm animals in his favor. Napoleon's evil does not arrive by accident but rather crafty planning. When Iago's archetype is applied to the early nineties movie Ghost, the intended pattern of behavior between villains in this essay is apparent. The antagonist in this film, who happens to be a very good friend of the main characters (i. Napoleon again fits Iago's mold in his ability as an intellectual criminal. Iago is well aware of his spiteful nature and embraces it to thwart his enemies. It includes a villain that is a prime example of a carefully planned and skillfully executed evil. Like Iago the sly villain remains on very good terms with Demi until the end, only to have his plan is unraveled by psychic Whoopi Goldburg and Swazye's ghost. Both the farm animals and Desdemona were manipulated to serve in the villain's plan. The young Pip will be the first to fall victim to Havishams' heartless plot. George Orwell's Animal Farm, is an allegorical classic, written to a mirror the Communist Party's rise to power in Russia. As the story continues the power thirsty Napoleon plans to oust Snowball.
