The song "Deceiver" by Amarna Reign relates well to Othello's reaction to Iago's manipulation. One lyric especially hits home with this point. "Lie by lie you took my hand." Iago did exactly this to Othello. He buried lies within him, leading the way for Othello to believe that Desdemona was unfaithful. This line expresses the sentiment of anger in saying "I'll rip the teeth from the beast." Othello similarly was livid at how Iago lead to the death of his beloved Desdemona. Othello's anger at the "beast" Iago is evident when Othello stabs Iago, but leaves him alive so that Iago may experience a long, and perpetual torture punishment. The song goes on and describes Iago's personality. "You see nothing but yourself." Iago is himself narcissistic and completely oblivious to the feelings of others. He manipulates those who consider him a loving friend. He will use anyone in any way to satisfy himself. He only sees himself, while others suffer intensely at his hand.
