Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote that Iago’s soliloquies are the ‘motive-hunting of motiveless malignity’?

Do you think that this is how Shakespeare wanted to portray or present the character?

Probably not. Don't forget that Coleridge also wrote 'The opium eaters'. Sorry - it was de Quincey who wrote 'The opium eaters'. Not much difference. The Lakes poets were stoned.

Possibly.

no, I don't think so, Shakespeare's characters reveal many more layers than that.
