Desdemona's Marriage

When Emilia finds Desdemona's handkerchief, she decides to give it to her husband to receive his love and to please his fantasy, “I nothing but to please his fantasy” (3.3.343). Throughout the story, Emilia was a dynamic character whose character was slow unveiled, such as her love and obedience to her husband. Furthermore, marriage in Shakespeare was dominated by males, being abusers. On the other hand, females who happened to be strong, however, they let their husband possess dominance over them and grant husbands to abuse them, such as Desdemona. Therefore, the theme of "marriage" was simply a base to hold women to men who were an abuser that ended up killing their wives. Additionally, the theme of "marriage" developed a tension in the story
by permitting husbands to maintain a position that allowed everything, which they state, to be held as a correct message.
