What Coleridge means by "motiveless malignity," of course, is that lago's character is what he calls "passionless," that all his "will" is in his intellect ...or a disinterested delight in the pain of others; and Othello. But such a thing as “motiveless malignity” is not in nature, lagos villainy is too cruel, too steadfast to be human; perfect pitiless malignity is impossible: none can be that cruel or even that good.
