The feeling of replacement of Odin in his own family, as well as his replacement by Odin and Micheal on the basketball team is what fuels Hugo's jealousy, which is similar to the motivation of Iago in the original text. Hugo (Iago), a friend of Odin and another of his teammates is overcome with jealousy by this act and turns to lies, deceit, and trickery to ruin the happiness and success of his friend and his girlfriend Desi (Desdemona).Although in Othello it is sometimes unclear the source of Iago's envy, in "O" we see Hugo's anger rise as his father, the coach of the basketball team (Duke of Venice in Othello) Announces that he loves Odin as if he were his own son. Once he is awarded MVP he shares the honor with his loyal teammate Michael (Cassio).
