CHARACTER QUESTIONS
I think pride was his downfall. Pride blinded him. He was too troubled by what others thought of him or what others were saying about him to actually see the reality... which was, in Othello's case, that his wife really did love him and wasn't betraying him. However despite what Desdemona said to convince him otherwise, Othello simply knew he was right. I mean, how may he be wrong? He's a man, and men are never wrong. Men do not lie, women do. It had been this pride that had othello believing everything Iago said, and this pride that stopped him from simply sitting down and talking to his wife concerning the things Iago said. Also, Othello's suffering results largely from his poor judgment. He trusts the wrong people and …show more content…
Desdemona blindly obeys, supports and defends her husband. She moves from the care and protection of her father, Brabantio, to the arms of her fearless husband othello. She is brave in her statement to the Senate to defend her part within the elopement, then again acquiesces altogether of her husband's wild and abusive accusations. Desdemona searches herself for weakness instead of exploring the modified behaviour of her once-loving husband. She protects and defends him to the end, even condemning herself to Hell on her deathbed by lying regarding Othello's involvement in her death. Once Emilia asks "O who has done this deed?" Desdemona's response is "Nobody: i myself." She dies upon the words "Commend me to my kind lord: o farewell!" Dying, that is, loyal to the person who took her life. Emilia may be a pragmatic and practically minded woman - significantly for the time during which the play was formed. iago may be a crude and dislikeable man (at best). Emilia is believed by Iago to have been unfaithful and hints that she might have a justification for his imaginings. in an exceedingly discussion on unfaithfulness with Desdemona, Emilia says, I would not do such a thing for a joint ring, nor for measures of lawn , nor for a gown, petticoats, nor caps, nor any petty exhibitions.but for all the whole world...who would not make her husband a cuckold? I should venture purgatory for it. Her statement might be seen as a justification for adultery, and emilia will continue to implicate men's behaviour because the cause of unfaithfulness in their wives. She alludes to ladies having identical desires, needs and wishes in relationships as men. However, it seems that she is aiding her husband to succeed
