Answer:
For Venetians a black person is usually seemed as someone who cannot be trusted, an outsider and evil person who represents darkness; while the white is seen as fair, perfect and good. Othello is a story in which race is a topic of great debate and discussion. Iago as well as other characters mention Othello’s race in many occasions. In fact, at the beginning of the play, we don’t even know Othello’s name yet but we are well aware that he is dark-skinned and different. In the play, however even though Othello’s race sets him apart, he’s able to work hard and gains its place on Venice.
Iago representing the white’s view refers to Othello as “thick-lips” and “old black ram” suggesting that black men are animals and monstrous. Iago’s hatred may have started on a professional level when he was being passed up for a promotion, which went to a less experienced man. But in part due to Othello’s heritage, Iago quickly shows that he deteriorates racism. This brings the irony that while an extremely powerful man in a political context, his race makes him inferior in a white man’s society. Iago is able to trick Othello and manipulate him on a consistent basis.
