Iago manipulates Othello in many ways during the course of the play up until act 3 scene 3 Othello has been manipulated by Iago through the means of of Desdemona Iago makes Othello suspect Desdemona is cheating on him that his being cuckolded. Iago does this by taking control over the conversation by implanting ideas into Othello’s head he does this without saying what he wants him to think but by simply leading him to what he wants him to think. Iago can do this with ease since Othello is to trusting and Iago takes advantage of such exposable weakness by simply feeding him words he wants to hear whilst he insults behind his back and calling him “The moor.” Othello by the end of act 3 scene 3 thinks of Desdemona has a corrupt and unfaithful women and his is now fixed in his course this is scene results to the tragic end of Othello. The audience know that Iago is the enemy, Iago is one who makes the characters antagonize each other whilst he keeps his reputation seemingly true and pure whilst his actually intentions is all the more different. This effect creates dramatic irony where the audiences know whats truly going whilst the characters do not this creates tension as well as that Shakespeare wants his audience to experience the play he wants the audience to feel for the characters creating emotions such as anger or sympathy for the characters in this instances it is used to create anger at this point in the play the audience hate Iago he is the sole reason why all the events falls into a tragedy, over the course of the play Shakespeare has made Iago expose himself to the audience through soliloquies which “develops the dramatic irony.” making the audience come to hate Iago slowly.
ago has created uncertainty by saying that Desdemona had deceit her father to marry him. Othello become uncertain when he started to question things

The laboratory ancien
The speaker in The Laboratory-Ancien Regime sounds insecure about herself because in stanza 2 4th line ” While they laugh, laugh at me, at me fled to the drear” She feels that she is being ridiculed. This express her insecurity shes also expresses bigger plans ” I am here.” She’s going to be notice or she will be notice because of her plans.
Stanza 2
He is with her; and they know that I know
Where they are, what they do: they believe my tears flow
While they laugh, laugh at me, at me fled to the drear
Empty church, to pray God in, for them! — I am here.
Stanza 10
Not that I bid you spare her the pain!
Let death be felt and the proof remain;
Brand, burn up, bite into its grace–
He is sure to remember her dying face!
She wants the king to suffer to see and remember her dying face wanting him to suffer the utmost pain this displays her sadistic side in tormenting him this reflects her insane side wanting the poisoned woman feel the death of pain.
