Iago

Here is the first monologue in Danos Monologue World. Its from William Shakespeares tragedy Othello, the character of Iago.
Iago: Thus do I ever make my fool my purse;
For mine own gain'd knowledge should profane,
If I would time expend with such a smipe
But for my sport and profit.  I hate the Moor;
And it is thought abroad that 'twixt my sheets
He has done my office:  I know not if't be true;
But I for mere suspicion in that kind
Will do as if for surety.  He holds me well;
The better shall my purpose work on him.
Cassio's a proper man: let me see now;
To get his place, and to plume up my will
In double knavery--How, how?--Let's see--
After some time, to abuse Othello's ear
That he is too familliar with his wife.
He hath a person and a smooth dispose
To be suspected; framed to make women false.
The Moor is of a free and open nature,
That thinks men honest that but seem to be so;
And will as tenderly be led by the n ose
As asses are.
I have't.  It is engender'd.  Hell and night
Must bring this monstrous birth to the world's light.
The intention is Iagos treachory, and the preceding action was that he just convinced the headstrong and foolish Rodriego to help in his plot to play both sides of the coin in an attempt to destroy both. Very calm and evil delivery..and one of my favorites.
