i think that the 1995 film version of the film shows that he isn't completely bad. He dresses in white as the plot progresses, suggesting that he is free of guilt. Regardless of whether or not he was evil in earlier scenes, he isn't towards the endHe even states that he won't speak of th plans/deaths again. He isn't COMPLETELY evil.
Maybe it's a front

Deffo. Whole blood brothers scene...yep.
I totally agree with you that he isnt an evil character, the events in the play rely soley on Othello's credulity and the rest of the characters misunderstanding of the situation.
Iago is evil. He's the epitome of evil. He's every bit as evil as any of Shakespeare's great villains because he is one.
And he's heterosexual if that matters. He's jealous of Othello and Cassio for many reasons.

Nope, Iago definitely has some hang-ups (come on, his dream that Cassio came onto him as Desdemona is very suss). Aaron from Titus Andronicus is arguably more evil.
