Speak for my heart is full.” Iago replied; “ I told him what I thought and told no more than what he found himself was apt and true.” (Act V, sc.ii, lines179-184) Although Iago was solely responsible for the tragedy, he could not have succeeded if it was not for the gullible characters as targets for him to hit.

would send their hard earned cash if they knew that the person wa .....
