Through Shakespeare's works he shows how tragedy can come from different sources and in Othello calamity is led by human negativity and manipulation. The play begins with Othello promoting Cassio as lieutenant instead of Iago. Iago furious with Othello's decision begins to plot against both men to get his due.
