Why does Iago say he wished to kell Roderigo? What reason does he give for not killing him.?

He is jealous but wants complete revenge not just partial.

If he had just killed the king at that point, there wouldn't be much of a story, now would there?\n\nNow as for other reasons: he could have thought it would send the king to heaven if he was killed while praying, Hamlet can never really make up his mind about anything. I think it was just second guessing himself.

Since it'd be easy to blow them foolishly, I'd first wish for wisdom to not waste the other two.  Next, I'd wish the same for the person to whom I'd give the last wish.  Finally, I'd give the last wish to you.\n\nWhy?  I need all the wisdom I can get, and its better to give than to receive.

I want to read the book. The only thing I don't get is why would he write a hypothetical book about murder? This book is obviously his subtle confession!!! Why not call the book "I did it, this is how"\n\nDouble Jeopardy laws prevent him from getting put into jail. He just needs to flat out say: "I did it!" \n\nAnd seeing as this book is making a lot of money (seeing as he killed her) he should pay the families affected. If he didn't people would hate him, or at least I would.

he might be on the edge of killing or if he does end up killing her it could be becuase he hurt her so badly but didnt plan on killing her\neven tho she did die from it

Absolutely.  Othello did not stop to question Iago, or Iago's motives.  Othello simply acted on what he had been told by Iago.  I do, however, think that Othello was struggling with a dichotomous personality in that he was a soldier first, husband second. That becomes Othello's real struggle throughout the play.  Being that he was a soldier, he is used to acting first-thinking second.  Othello the soldier wrestles with Othello the man. This is really spelled out in his final speech before he kills himself.

I dunno if this'll help, but I thought I'd give it a try . . .\nI just read through Macbeth with my lil' bro a little while ago, and I'm rereading Othello now, and it's funny that you ask about the inevitability of prohecies and the first prophecy he gets, because even though there are no prophecies in Othello, Iago does say something about deals with the devil.\nI don't have the book on me, so I can't give a direct quote, but, Iago compares himself to a devil and says that the reason he tells the truth in the beginning of his evil scheme to bring about Othello's downfall is because a demon (or in Hamlet's case a witch) will give you bits of the truth in order to lure you into dealing with them.  That way you will think that they aren't evil, because an evil being would lie.  Does that make sense? \nSo when he saw the first prophecy come true without any action on his part, he thought it would be okay to help the rest of them along, because it was his destiny and not evil magic.  I think the irony is that whether or not he killed Duncan the prophecy should have come true.  Or maybe it was foretold that he would kill Duncan, and the witches just neglected to tell him that part, and knowing that he would, let Lady MacB goad him into it.\nI never read "The Bottle Imp", but it sounds interesting, I think I'll give it a try.\nHope that helps!

No, he ate a shotgun. Why would anyone have wanted to murder him, except to stop the noise? :)

(1)YES!  HE LOVES YOU.\n (2)HE LOVED THE ONES WHO KILLED HIM ,HE SAID (FATHER FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY NO NOT WHAT THEY DO)IT'S SHOWS THAT AT THE END HE STILL LOVED THEM AND THEY WHERE MANY, SO WHY NOT JUST YOU ! PERSONALLY, I THINK HE KNOWS THAT IF THERE WAS A TIME MACHINE AND YOU  MEET  HIM, YOUR  THOUGHTS OF AN ASSASSIN WOULD TURN IN TO TEARS OF LOVE.

He laid down his life AND he was killed.  It would not have been right for him to commit suicide in order to save us.  Because that would have been committing a murder.\n\nWhen voluntarily laid down his life, he was allowing the Jews, through the Romans (yes, I know there's controversy on this...no hate mail please) to take his life or to kill him.  He was not forced to die.

How do you justify spiritually the killing of another human being, when you are the President of a country? It it the fastest draw theory? Is it God told you it is OK? Is it because when God said, "Thou shat not kill", He was talking to someone else other then you?

Um... because he wanted an APPRENTICE maybe?\n\neesh...

No, I wouldn't sell my soul to the devil; not even for all the riches in the world. Becuz he is a liar, a thief, a murderer and he is not concerned about us. He only wants our souls to torment them in hell. He is an angel of darkness who appears in the form of light.
