Emilia

suspected him of having an affair with Emilia, his wife, as he say "It is thought abroad that 'twixt my sheets / He has done my office" (1.3.369–370). Again, Emilia gave the offensive "handkerchief" to the evil Lago, which makes Desdemona guilty of a crime she did not commit, but even if Emilia was present as this scene panned out, she kept silent. So Othello cannot be blamed for wrong assumptions when presented with such convincing evidence. Also, Emilia could perhaps want to inflict pain on…

relationship is almost evil . for example Emilia comes to him and says ¨ I something for you” (3.3.210.) Emilia has the handkerchief and is giving it to Iago. She is trying to get his attention that he never shows her and she feels that if she gives him that he will give her some kind of loyalty that she never gets from him . He responds with “ To have a foolish wife” (3.3.213) which is saying he thinks she’s a fool. Iago could care less about Emilia , He doesńt even respect her enough to…

regulations; they should not go anywhere unescorted, they should not wear provocative clothing, they must not cheat on their husbands, and many more demands that conveyed the authority men had over women. The three women presented in Othello are Desdemona, Emilia and Bianca; women who behaved and conducted themselves according to the expectations of Shakespeare’s society and to the Venetian Society he creates. All three women are rejected by their husbands, but love them…

Which is to kill Desdemona. Apparently it’s like husband like wife in this play. Emilia knowing the act that she’s about to do, is cold-hearted. She knew the consequences, but she did it since Iago asked her to. Emilia also puts on a fake face, especially to Desdemona. To Desdemona, Emilia is basically the mother, even though Emilia is Desdemona’s mistress. Desdemona being naive, shows that Desdemona trusts Emilia no matter what. You can definitely see the resemblance between Iago and…

is a “stereotypical women” in Shakespeare’s society. On the other hand, Bianca is portrayed as the opposite to Desdemona, she is shown to be very outspoken and - to a certain extent - vulgar. Bianca is portrayed as jealous, as well as possessive. Emilia is also shown to be very outspoken, clever, and flirtatious at certain times, and - as such - is not what a “proper” women should be. Given the day in age in which this play was written, Shakespeare’s liberating text is perhaps surprising,…

causes chaos among the characters and in the end leading to death of many. How an individual perceives one’s self may not always be the way others perceive an individual. This can have a huge effect on how a character acts. This is shown through how Emilia and Othello perceive Iago and how he sees himself. Through this Iago’s duplicite nature is revealed to the…

flaw. Shakespeare’s Othello explores the critical weakness of trust in different characters and how the erroneous villain, Iago uses this trait in order to cause their demise. Othello bestows confidence on Iago and mistrusts those most loyal to him. Emilia is also a victim of placing trust in Iago, where she fulfills all his duties; in return he is able to manipulate her for his own schemes. Roderigo’s imprudent trusting nature allows himself to be deceived and used by Iago repeatedly for Iago’s…

The only way to describe Roderigo is to compare him to that one person you know that can’t form their own opinions and doesn’t have a coherent personality. Roderigo has good intentions but he’s always interrupted and fades in the background. This was my very first and very last opinion of him. For example in Act 1, Scene 1, Line 119 when Iago and Roderigo go to tell Brabantio that Desdemona is missing it really shows how Roderigo is treated throughout the play. Brabantio says this when Iago and…

bidding. Therefore, good Emilia, Give me my nightly wearing, and adieu. We must not displease him”. In the portion of the play Desdemona has asked Emilia to leave so she may sleep as her husband commanded her to do so. Her obedience to him and her willingness to not anger him shows her pure and harmless character. In the last portion of the play she was asked by Emilia why she was stabbed and by whom and Desdemona refused to admit that it was Othello. In the scene A bedchamber Emilia says”,O,…

deceive by such bawd. A truly wanton lady, however, the spectators were far from charm. Iago in all fairness refer to her as a strumpet. Oh! Bianca how much longer would you ruin our Cassio? Thankfully, though Cassio appears to be the only one charmed. Emilia, as it turns out was also far from impressed with Bianca and also refer to her as a strumpet. After she had the nerves to confess that she was expecting Cassio for the night. It is truly incredible to see what our world has come to, I only…
