“to tell you your daughter and / the Moor and now making the beast with two backs.” Here Iago informs Barbantio of Othello and Desdemona. This beast imagery is used in two ways. Firstly, it is used to enrage Barbantio in regards to his lack of control over his daughter. This enrages him because women, especially Desdemona, are not supposed to partake in this behavior. Secondly, it is a reference to Othello being African which were considered beasts, we sense Iago's racism.

O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;/It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock/The meat it feeds on" - Monsters are a recurring image and here it is used to show once again Iago's manipulation. This is full of Irony because the driving force for Iago's manipulation is Jealousy. This therefore both his manipulation and his hypocritical nature. In a way, he accuses Othello of being a monster and a beast behind his back. So we see a double meaning behind this quote.

Have you not sometimes seen a handkerchief / Spotted with strawberries in your wife's hand?" This was given from Othello to Desdemona to represent their love. In addition to true love, it represents the past as Othello's father gave this to his mother. The strawberries might be associated with: love and fertility. Strawberries are red, a known color of love but also for blood, this therefore acts as foreshadowing. Secondly, fruits are often associated with children, something othello wants.

"With a little a web as this I will ensnare as great a fly as Cassio” Act 2 Scene 1. Iago is portrayed as a spider in the play. He is a poisonous character with no goal but to plague others with misfortune. His portrayal as a spider is excellent because it only furthers this idea.

"Even now, now, very now, an old black ram is topping your white ewe." - Iago (Act 1. Scene 1. 97) Iago is using bestial imagery as a form of racism to rile up Brabantio. He refers to Desdemona as a white ewe, a pure, graceful, gentle creature. However, he describes Othello as a black ram, which is a comment about Othello’s race, as well as describing Othello as an aggressive, unrefined beast, as rams are considered.
