JRM quotes Iago, one of Shakespeare's most sinister villains, who uses his reputation as an honest man to deceive & manipulate people to satisfy his needs.
When his treachery is revealed, before being arrested he kills in a fit of rage, remaining reticent to give an explanation.

Iago is an extremely narcissistic character, driven by ego & powered by self-absorption: he is emotionally immature, excessively self-esteemed & very self-involved.
He also believes he is above those around him & finds no shame in playing the role of judge, jury, & executioner.

Narcissism stems from emotional immaturity, implying that the narcissist's intellectual or emotional development does not align with their age. They often partake in juvenile or puerile behavior: unable to defeat their negative feelings, they are petty & shrouded by malevolence.
Iago is the main villain in Othello & is the play’s dealer of despair & disparity, causing rifts in the lives of the other characters.
Iago demonstrates his emotional immaturity, flaunts his exorbitant ego & develops his reputation as arrogant & pompous.

My suspicion is that - as usual - living fossil Jacob Rees-Mogg has reached for the index in his book of quotes, which he uses to make him sound clever & cultured, when in reality he uses quotes as a cover for his provincial ignorance, pomposity, narcissism, & arrogance.
