User blog comment:Ordeaux26/Pure Evil Proposal - Iago (Othello)/@comment-27022982-20191111192329

I know some might disagree with me, but I'm going to vote no. The motivations for his crimes are unknown, and while one may come to the assumption that he's doing this For the Evulz, the story never confirms it, making it more Fridge Horror if anything. At the climax, when Othello demands to know that motivations for Iago's crimes, the latter tells him to "demand me nothing" and refuses to speak one more word his whole life. A PE needs to have a clear and defined motivation for their crimes, and I don't feel Iago has it. Hate Sink? Yes. Pure Evil? Not quite.
