Othello Quote Analysis

Quote: "Iago. Blessed fig's-end! The wine she drinks is made of grapes. If she had been blessed, she would never have loved the Moor. Blessed pudding!"(2.1.251-253)

Significance: This quote is significant because it shows that Iago's hatred of Othello is so great, the it has spread to those associated with the Moor. He cannot see any goodness in those who favor Othello, so he justifies his hatred by creating flaws in them, so he can have a legitimate reason for disliking them.

Question: Does Rodergio like Iago, or is this strictly business?
