In the Name of Love

It's crazy what people do for love...and horrible how people will take advantage of that. This is the relationship that Iago and Roderigo seem to have. Iago acknowledges Roderigo to himself as "my sick fool Roderigo, Whom love hath turned almost the wrong side out" (ll. 47-48). Rather than having sympathy for poor Roderigo, Iago just uses it towards his own capital gain, seems like a characteristic of Social Darwinism is being exemplified even by Shakespeare!
