The Jealously of Iago in Othello
Iago's crimes define pathological jealousy and a sheer desire for

thinks) less military ability than him. This deep wound commands Iago to revenge.
Iago cannot bear Othello's being a superior figure. Iago comments on
Othello's going to war as "Another of his fathom they have none/ To lead their
business." (lines 153-154) Iago insults Othello's skin color profusely behind
his back. As the first part of his plan, Iago seeks to arouse Bra...

Some traits of a jealous person are insecure, overly attached, spying, and low-self esteem. Othello’s jealousy started when he believed Iago’s lies about his wife infidelity.

IT management also prepared UPS for BCP-DR to avoid downtime. UPS’s IT infrastructure allowed customisations to incorporate unique functional requirements of customers.
