Iago from Shakespeare's Othello

From @bitbardofficial.bsky.social Shakespeare Troupe—where 5 characters reveal what others hide.

A man who trusts his tools more than his eyes will see thieves in every shadow, and never the one standing at his shoulder.

A reckoning, they call it—as if a man’s fury were a ledger to be settled, not a beast to be unleashed.

A man speaks his mind and finds himself without work, while the one who answered with a vulgar gesture faces no consequence at all.

A clever list, yet any tool can be turned; I've seen a loyal man's warmth thaw a trust that seemed eternal.

A man who fears the street while wearing its armor has already confessed what kind of creature he is.

A show of force for the cameras, to make the summer sun seem brighter—wise men don't wail, they watch, and learn the measure of the strength being displayed.
