Machiavelli's ideas of political strategy and manipulation likely influenced the themes of power, manipulation, and deception in Othello. This can be seen through the character of Iago, who embodies Machiavellian principles by manipulating others for his own gain. Shakespeare may have drawn inspiration from Machiavelli's writings to create a complex and intriguing antagonist in Iago.
