Iago the Villain

If you have any test reviews, homeworks, guides, anything school related that you think can be posted on this website, reach out to me at makingschooleasier@gmail.com   If told to recall any villain from literary works, what comes to mind? Many probably do, but two that stand out for being extremely notorious and evil are Iago from Shakespeare’s Othello and Lord Voldemort from J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter Series. According to a 2008 list, named 50 Greatest Villains in Literature published by the English newspaper, The Telegraph, Iago and Lord Voldemort are in the top five spots one, both in consecutive order. Although J.K. Rowling writes for a genre known as commercial fiction, her characters are not flat or stereotypical; they are all well developed and relatable to. The reader is aware that there are motives and thoughts within each character. With this being said the reader should be able to accept Voldemort as a character of literary merit and worthy of comparison to Iago. From
