So Far So Good

Personally, I like Iago's character.  I understand that at times he is occasionally conflicted between motivations and excuses for why he does the things he does, but does that make him a bad person?  No, but I suppose turning your superior against his wife and ruining his second-in-command's life probably does.  Oh, whatever.  Literature needs more villains with the depth of character that Iago possesses.  I really like the humor Bill injects into the story, too.  I mean, here I am studying the text more than 400 years after it was written, and I still find it funny.  And I'm not even a nerd!  I'm a little disappointed by the lack of death thus far, but I've been assured that Act V is a bloodbath, so that's encouraging.  I guess I'm just caught up by how awesome everything is going for Iago, and I'm waiting for the bubble to burst.  Obviously, I want Emilia to die first.  She is annoying and a burden on society, and if she survives while everyone else dies I will be über upset.  I like Roderigo for some cruel and twisted reason (I probably find his naïveté endearing), but I've come to realize that when you read Bill you can't get too attached to any one character.  As of right now, my reaction is plainly put: so far, so good.
