Answer:
Iago.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "Othello" revolves around the story of a black moor Othello marrying the fair daughter of a Venetian senator. The story deals with themes of racism, society, identity, loyalty, deceit, etc. among others.
Iago is the antagonist to Othello's character. He gets jealous of Othello for getting Desdemona and often tries to accuse the Moor of wrongdoing to make him suffer or even be killed. He also gets easily jealous and envious of other characters like Cassio. He also even accused his wife Emilia, Desdemona's attendant, of being unfaithful to him. He may be a native, as opposed to Othello's alien nature in Venice, but he turns out to be more monstrous than anyone, including Othello himself.
Taking the characters from "Othello" into consideration, we can say the one that best fits the description in the question is:
- Iago.
Iago is the antagonist of the story, that is, the character that does everything to harm the protagonist, Othello. In other words, Iago is the villain.
It is interesting to notice that Othello suffers with prejudice for being a foreigner. He is the "strangest alien" in the definition. Iago, on the other hand, is the "native", whose nationality and appearance are accepted.
However, Iago is "more monstrous" than Othello, which serves to show that prejudice only leads to misjudgment. People do not trust Othello, but he is honest and good. People trust Iago, but he is evil and cunning.
