When I wrote this paper, I decided that I should look into Milton's education, but that I should spend the majority of my time on comparisons between Iago and Satan. I realized my paper was really going to be too long unless I just took one or two specific examples from the works, so I focused on one good example from each work to compare and discuss why it is evidence that Iago is a model for Satan.
