This article by Janet Adelman posted for you to read, on notions British psychoanalyst Melanie Klein tackled in her 1957 Envy and Gratitude. A Study of Unconscious Sources , of "projection", introjection and "projective identification", which the author uses in her excellent analysis of Iago's nothingness, "envy" and "projection of his own blackness", an article I intended to sum up for you, and might still: "Iago's Alter Ego: Race as Projection in Othello", Shakespeare Quarterly, 48.2 (Summer 1997): 125-44.
