Make all the money thou canst: if sanctimony and a frail vow betwixt an erring barbarian and a supersubtle Venetian not too hard for my wits and all the tribe of hell, thou shalt enjoy her; therefore make money.
– William Shakespeare
Othello, Act 1, Scene 3. Iago offers this advice to Roderigo on how to win Desdemona. He urges him to gather all the money he can so that he can effectively buy her. He uses racist language when he speaks of the frailty of the marriage vows between her and "barbarian" Othello. His sexist view of women as men’s sexual playthings is shown when he predicts that Roderigo will "enjoy her" – have sex with Desdemona. In this passage Iago identifies himself with "all the tribe of hell," practically admitting that he is demonic.
