What defines a “fall”? Some would say that a fall is a freeing from the restrictions of the oppression of a supreme being.

Satan used the serpent, an innocent member of God’s creation, and Iago used Emilia, his wife, who was a servant and confidant of Desdemona to make a more convincing lie. The first main difference between the falls of these two stories is who...
