Desdemona; Women or mouse?
Howdy,
I have decided to make a post plainly based on Desdemona's 'stupidity'. Why is it that she was so submissive to Othello? Loyalty? I don't believe so. There was obviously a part of her which was so loyal to Othello that made her not want to question him or his actions but not that alone could of made her helpless when he tightened his hands around her neck.
Maybe it was just the time era of the play that made her character so dismissive for it might have been custom in that period of time, but if so then how is it that Emilia took her stand? Sure it weren't until it was too late but she still stood up for her morals in the ends.
What is it that you think made women more inferior in the first place?
And with that I leave you to your thoughts.
