In comparison to the Roman characters in the play, the English characters are depicted as being more noble. Jachimo is a swaggering braggart, the kind of Italian courtier Shakespeare and his Elizabethan and Jacobean contemporaries so loved to ridicule and stereotype for their decadence and arrogance. He thinks he can get any woman that he wants, even Imogen, who Posthumus describes as unquestionably chaste.
