Protagonist equals Othello. Antagonist equals Iago. They are foils. It's funny because they're foils in their personality, Othello is naive whilst Iago is cunning, AND physically they're foils because Othello is black and Iago is white! Whooooaaahh, Shakes is a deep guy. The minor characters such as Cassio, Roderigo and Desdemona are also some movers and shakers in that they play major roles in Iago's manipulation of people to exact his revenge upon the Moor and help to characterize Othello and Iago, so much so that they could be considered more like Major-Minor characters. Oh how paradoxical, what ho! Sometimes I wonder if Othello is even the main character at all. o.O
Mmm, rockin' the soul patch in the middle ages.
