Who, in your opinion is the most evil? I happen to think that Iago, Edmund, and Richard III are the most evil. They're just so evil and have everyone snowed (Except for Margret in Richard III) as to what they are planning and what they're going to do. I'd love to see what all your opinions are.

I have to agree with Iago. Malicious, insidious and using people's weaknesses to their disadvantage as to cause sheer tragedy? Definately Iago.

Yes, Iago, but also Aaron! Aaron never had a clear-cut reason either. (Even more-so than Iago)

Iago, definately, although I havent read Richard III. Iago is such an evil genuis, I dont know how he kept all that conniving straight. And killing your own wife so she wont give away your plot...just a little cruel.

bardlover TWTCF Yes, Iago, but also Aaron! Aaron never had a clear-cut reason either. (Even more-so than Iago) Then and again, the whole PLAY is crazy... but yeah, he's pretty bad too...

I agree with Richard III. I love how he states what he is going to do and then does. Plus even his historic person was an evil genious. He ordered his brother and his nephews killed.
I have only seen a stage production of Othello(with an added Iago song), but he did seem coniving. Maybe I don't fully appreciate him until I read it, or maybe the production was really bad.

Iago did all the things he did because he didn't get the promotion.
Aaron was just plain evil.
it is hard to examine one evil over the other because they are evil in different ways. But i know that i wouldn't want either of them in my life.

Iago manipulated Othello and was the cause of so many deaths just because he wanted revenge.
all Othello did was make cassio luitenant over Iago, i don't really think you can compare the two things.
You could argue that Iago wasn't an evil character at all, just insane. He says in the play:
"As, I confess, it is my nature's plague,
To spy into abuses, and oft my jealousy
Shapes faults that are not"
One interpretation of this is
"I confess it is part of my charater to get involved in trouble and often my jealousy makes me think people are evil when their nice"
If you look at it this way, it would seem that Iago is admitting that he is a slave to himself aka he's mental. You may also say that he doesn't like this fact; he doesn't like that he automatically hates someone and thinks their evil because of his own jealousy. Which would explain the inhuman behaviour displayed by him throughout the play.

I completely agree with Iago, perhaps because I saw an absolutely brilliant production of Othello recently. I think all Shakespeare characters have some sort of evil in them somewhere, because he portrayed the human nature so accurately though. So a valid argument really could be made for any of them.
