Theme:
Love: I do not believe in it. "soon leads to betrayal; when your heart is displayed so openly, as if upon your sleeve, the 'daws' will accept the invitation to peck away at it."
Racism: Iago is pointing out that Othello, a black man, is sleeping with Desdemona, a white woman."Even now, now, very now, an old black ram is tupping your white ewe"
Jealousy: Iago believes that jealousy is a part of life and relationships "That cuckold lives in bliss, Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger: But O, what damnèd minutes tells he o'er Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves!"
Appearance vs. reality: Iago is very good at appearing loyal when in fact he is plotting against Othello."I am not what I am"
Reputation: Iago simply does not believe in reputation. "Reputation is an idol and most false imposition; oft got without merit and lost without deserving"
Perceptions of women: Iago believes that women are there to be controlled and not good for much else."He has a pretty wife, but he cannot control her."
