Themes Envy and jealousy are the catalysts for Hugo’s desire to hurt Odin and Mike. Hugo envies Mike for Odin choosing him over Hugo to share the coveted Most Valuable Player award (MVP).
At the presentation Hugo’s own father, Coach Duke Goulding states boldly,” … And I’m not ashamed to say this in public but, I love him like a son.” The camera shows the dismay displayed on Hugo’s face. From this point on Hugo envies both Mike and Odin and pledges to do whatever required of him to ruin both their lives. Just as Othello prefers Cassio as his lieutenant rather than Iago.
Iago also mentions in a soliloquy that,” I hate the Moor, And it is thought abroad that ‘twixt my sheets He’s done my office. I know if’t be true.” Iago is suspicious of his own wife being unfaithful and is jealous of Othello, even though it is only rumour not truth. Hugo’s plan is to fill Odin’s mind with doubts of infidelity about Mike and Desi’s relationship. Hugo first mentions his suspicions in the gym where the two are alone. He tells Odin,” If there’s one thing I know it’s white girls, they ” re like horny snakes.” Hugo asks if there’s anything going on between Desi and Mike and if Odin trusts Mike. If Hugo hadn’t of warned Odin, the thought would ” ve never have occurred to him as he said to Mike, “What I’m gone a few hours and you ” re already stealing my girl big Mike?” This was said sarcastically by Odin after he was admitted to hospital after retaining an arm injury playing basketball.
The Essay on Iago – The Antagonist
In William Shakespeare’s play “Othello”, we learn about the dramatic contribution of the antagonistic character Iago, who through his manipulative and hypocritical qualities satisfied his insatiable desire for revenge, and showed his constant deception of the entire cast. Iago is incredibly manipulative. He seems to be aware of how those around him will act and react to certain ...
Iago questions Cassio and Desdemona’s relationship just as Hugo did. .”.. I speak not yet of proof. Look to your wife, observe her well with Cassio; Wear your eyes thus; not jealous, nor secure.” Eventually Odin becomes so envious and jealous of Mike and Desi’s supposed affair he is so motivated to kill Mike.” How can I kill this mother fucker Hugo?” But Hugo mentions Desi, which only places the idea in Odin’s mind, and shows Hugo’s powers of manipulation.” But what about Desi.” He replies. Othello reacts in the same manner as Odin.” …
Within these three days let me hear thee say That Cassio’s not alive.” Iago’s agreeing ly replies but also manipulates Othello by mentioning Desdemona. “My friend is dead;’ Tis down at your request. But let her live.”Damn her, lewd minx! O, damn her, damn her!” Also included in this cycle of envy and jealousy is Roger who is envious of Desi and Odin’s relationship and is ever willing to help Hugo in his plan to break them up. Roger is very na ” ive and easily deceived by Hugo’s cunning and deceiving nature.” So you can really get me and Desi together?”They ” re breaking up.” ‘Othello’ opens mid way through a conversation for a dramatic effect, of Roderigo and Iago having a heated discussion.
Iago is trying to persuade Roderigo that he can convince Desdemona into marrying him. When Roderigo questions Iago’s actions he replies:” For when my outward action doth demonstrate That native act and figure of my heart In complement extern, ’tis not long after But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve For daws peck at. I am not what I am.” Iago is jealous and envious of Othello and Cassio. Cassio because he was chosen to be Othello’s officer, and Othello because he is so honoured and respected. Hugo’s girlfriend Emily is often ignored by Hugo and is envious of Desi and Odin’s intimate relationship.
Perhaps, this is the reason for her stealing the scarf Odin gave to Desi. Which is the pivotal event for Odin’s final belief in Hugo’s stories. Emilia, Iago’s wife also steals the scarf but gives a soliloquy to justify her cause,” I am glad I have found this napkin: This was her first remembrance from the Moor. My wayward husband hath a hundred time Wooed me to steal it; but she so loves the token, For he conjured her so she should ever keep it, That she reserves it evermore about her To kiss and talk to. I’ll have the work take out And give’t Iago. What he will do with it, heavens knows, not I: I nothing but to please his fantasy.” All Emilia is interested in is pleasing her husband, so hopefully he will pay attention to her.
