Desdemona is evil and Othello is a fool!!

Hey guys, Leah here. thought it was about time I posted, so I decided to expand on Jodies one about Desdemona and describe my pure hatred of her.

Desdemona REPULSES me!!! She is such a wet ninny and lets people walk ALL OVER HER! Especially Othello. To me, this makes it seem like the relationship is rather ridiculas, as Desdemona has the upmost respect for her husband and to begin with he respects her too. However, soon after Iago begins to plant seeds of doubt in Othellos mind, he completly takes advantage of his wife and walks all over her. Why does she let that happen?? Why doesn't she stand up for herself?? Is it because she's afraid of her husband? Or is she just afraid of being abandoned by him? Is it because of the era where Othello was set? Who knows?! All I know is that she is pathetic!

And this brings me to another point. You've got to have trust for a relationship to work, and although Desdemona is obviously besotted with Othello and would believe every word he said without question, he obviously doesn't trust her at all. This is evident because if Othello did trust Desdemona completly he wouldn't have believed Iagos lies.But, if truth be told, Desdemona did not do much to defend herself did she? In fact, I'd say she made matters worse! ESPECIALLY when it comes to the bit about the missing handcerchief. I know it wasn't her fault that she dropped it, but she should have told Othello the truth when he questioned her about it. Again I ask, was she AFRAID of Othello?? He was a top person in the military,m so he must have been quite scary I guess.

Another thing that annoys me about Desdemona is at the end of the play where Othello gets hysterical and goes on the rampage. He makes a speech at Desdemona hinting that he will kill her. It is so obvious that he will murder her, so why doesn't she defend herself? Tell him truth? RUN AWAY!!!!! I'm thinking yhat maybe she likes it when he gets angry and she wanted to die? Not likely, whats more likely is that she was thinking 'oooh darling Othello would never kill me, I'm too pretty, I need to go and style my hair, hmmm hmm hmmm.' Or something to that effect. WHY did she get killed? WHY didn't she defend herself? WHY& DIDN'T SHE SCREAM???? It REALLY frustrates me!!!

Anyway, enough rambling for now, hope you have enjoyed this rather amazin post.
