It produces sympathy for the other characters because they are oblivious to Iago’s actions and the part they play in the scheme of things. At the same time, it produces a feeling of repugnance toward Iago for his scheming and calculating ways.
As we become more familiar with Iago’s character, his motives become more apparent. Once we learn of Cassio’s promotion, Iago’s jealousy and his resentfulness toward Cassio become unmistakable. At the beginning, the motive for Iago’s foc ...

... into the catacombs to “taste” the Amontillado. This intrigued Fortunato’s senses because Montresor knew that Fortunato “prided himself in the connoisseurship of wine”.
