A survey of Othello as a study in types of human nature contrasts the suspicious Iago with the trusting Othello, noting how modern figures like Grant and Ward echo these roles. It discusses the boundless reach of Iago-like predators in finance and politics, contrasting survival of the fittest with a humane ethic, and ends with a note on convict labor at North Carolina's penitentiary and the varied burial sites of U.S. presidents.
