    Desdemona The daughter of the Venetian senator Brabantio. Desdemona and Othello are secretly married before the play begins. While in some ways stereotypically pure and meek‚ Desdemona is also determined and self-possessed. She is equally capable of defending her marriage‚ jesting bawdily with Iago‚ and responding with dignity to Othello’s incomprehensible jealousy. Desdemona is a more plausible‚ well-rounded figure than much criticism has given her credit for. Arguments that see Desdemona as

    can or can’t exist. Judging from the relationship between Desdemona and Othello‚ through Nicholson’s "Othello" And The Geography Of Persuasion." the play seems to say that marriage based on an innocent romantic love or profane love is bound to fail. Shakespeare is pessimistic about the existence and survival of a true type of love. There is a common thread of betrayal and deceit among his female characters‚ especially.

    Shakespeare presents Desdemona as an utterly pure character‚ one that is almost goddess-like. This captivating‚ ‘divine beauty’ (2.1.78) presents a lack of realism; throughout the play Desdemona is constantly viewed through the lens of male ideals. Not only is she constantly elevated by Cassio and Othello‚ she is also belittled and attacked by Iago who has a cynical perspective of femininity. This would have been common in a patriarchal society where men were seen as superior and often abused this

Much of the interest in her is owing to the fact that each character in
