Iago and Rodrigo are jerks. Iago more than Rodrigo. Rodrigo is just hurt that he got shot down, whereas Iago is miffed that he didn't get a promotion and blames Othello. Who he should REALLY be blaming is himself.
Also, all the racism really puts it into perspective how prejudiced everyone is. I mean, Othello is a commander in the army, but he's still treated badly and compared with a horse. And then when Desdemona's dad gets all angry, HE starts being super racist too! I mean, I can understand that he's angry. Most dads would be angry if their daughter snuck out in the middle of the night to go to an inn with some older guy.
Still, I think Iago is a jerk.
