"Make the Moor thank me, love me, reward me,
For making him egragiously an ass,
And practising upon his peace and quiet
Even to madness. 'Tis here, but yet confus'd;
Knavery's plain face is never seen till us'd"
Iago
Act 2 i. 297-301
Literary Devices:
Pathos: Iago is playing off of Othello's emotion. He wants him to be fooled and he knows Othello believes everyone is honest. We as the reader are able to see how Iago will bring chaos about and how it has to do with Othello's emotion.
Ethos: Iago says "knavery's plain face is never seen till us'd" which allows us as the readers to see he is sneaky. It builds his character.
