Iago and Stanley from Othello and A Street Car Named DesireIn these two literary works, Iago and Stanley both plan a tragic plan to draw the main characters, Othello and Blanche. to their “fall”. Iago is an absolutely inhuman being while Stanley showed his little conscience. They are both masters and geniuses. However, Iago seems to be much smarter than Stanley in comparison. Iago and Stanley plan a tragic plan to lead Othello and Blanche to their downfall because Othello promotes Cassio to lieutenant, a position he desires and this leads him to plan a tragic plan. Othello assumed an affair with Emilia, Iago's wife. So, Iago hatches a plan for revenge. Stanley hates Blanche because she destroys the good relationship between him and his wife, Stella. He thinks she sold the Beautiful Dream which he thinks is part of him, but she doesn't give him any money. Most importantly, he “assumes” that Blanche describes him as “common” and bestial. He thus develops a plan of revenge. In all, Iago and Stanley begin to tragically plan their hatred. Iago is absolutely inhuman while Stanley has little conscience in his heart. In order to achieve the goal, Iago does whatever is useful to him, even killing others. He kills Roderigo who helps him a lot in his plan. He persuades Othello to kill his Desdemona. Also, he kills his wife at the end. Stanley hasn't completely lost his humanity yet. Although he raped Blanche, he did not kill her or other people. Moreover, at the end of the play, he installs her in an asylum, but he does not abandon her. This reveals that someone will take care of her in the future and she will not live alone. In short, Stanley still has some little love emotions in his heart, but Iago is absolutely inhuman. These two villains have a different level in different times. As villains in their plays, Iago and Stanley are both brilliant, but Iago's tragic plan is almost perfect. He is able to use the “flaws” of other characters in his well-constructed plan. The smartest thing he does is being able to hide his identity from others. He seems to be "noble" in the eyes of others, but in fact he is bad "under his worth". So he can gain the trust of other characters.
