It analyzes the various ways the relations between the characters of the play are shaped and reshaped through the multiple processes of Recognition, Non-Recognition, respectively Mis-Recognition. It provides an innovative perspective on the characters of Iago and Othello, giving a coherent explanatory view on Iago, and rehabilitates this character, usually identified by both readers and critics with the ‘villain’ of the play.
