"How Could I Possibly Handle School on a Day Like This?"

(Othello, Shakespeare)

The character Iago matches one of the best movie characters of all time, Ferris Bueller from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. As displayed in Act IV and the movie Othello, Iago has the talent to think quickly and remain true to whatever lie he is professing. In this case, he convinces Othello that Cassio is sleeping with Desdemona by tricking Cassio into talking about his mistress. He is flawless and by the end, he has Othello beaming with rage and a thirst for anger. Much in the same way, Ferris is capable of fooling his parents, teachers, and peers alike and enjoy a day off. This ability to remain loyal to a pain as well as think quickly creates incredible characters of wit and schemes. Shakespeare's Iago is an impressive character and represents the poise and dedication needed to complete costly plans; he is even willing to kill his wife and remain speechless for the rest of his life. The lifestyle of Ferris and Iago is complex and impressive. Ferris' skillzzz are shown in the clip below, enjoy!
