"Aye, that's the way. Dull not device by coldness and delay." II.iii.350-351
Othello is much different from other plays, or Shakespearean plays. The reader is gaining information from the antagonist's point of view. This creates a weird understanding towards the antagonist. Although Iago is deceitful and dishonest, we know what his motivations are and understand. This also creates suspense because it makes us want to tell the protagonists what's really going on. Personally, I don't like Iago. Although we are supposed to have an understanding for him, I don't. What put me off the most was the rude comments about different types of women. However, it is true his soliloquies keep me wanting to know more.
