Death, Death and more Death

So, Act V had a few murders in it. And of course, Iago, being the one who caused all of the murders, survived. I feel that Iago's living represents that evil can never fully die; it will always exist. Othello said that he didn't think that Iago deserved to die because death brings happiness. I agree with Othello's thinking in that if Iago died, then he would've kind of gotten the easy way out. Now Iago is put in the hands of Cassio, who gets to decide the ways in which Iago will be tortured. This part of the play is kind of ironic in that Iago was controlling Cassio's life. Iago was convincing Othello to kill Cassio by telling Othello that Cassio slept with Desdemona. Now, Iago's life is completely controlled by Cassio.
