How Does Shakespeare Present Desdemona's Relationship

William Shakespeare’s Othello is a tragedy revolving around jealousy and envy, which causes complications in Othello and Desdemona’s relationship. Iago’s plot of vengeance planning to undertake Othello affects the husband and wife, which lead to their downfall. After reading the play, Othello’s love for Desdemona is at question by the audience. Does he truly love her? Indeed, Othello does love Desdemona, and it is evident when he is ecstatic to be with her, cares for her tremendously and regrets his actions.

With growing affection for Cassio, his prostitute, Bianca follows him around to show her love for him. Cassio’s attitude comes about as he wishes the Moor “Not see [him] womaned” (III.iv.223). Ignoring Cassio’s blatant disrespect, Bianca proves her love for him by retorting, “I pray you bring me on the way” (III.iv.227). Cassio tosses Bianca to the side like a piece of trash, yet Bianca remains steadfast and continuously displays her love and affection for Cassio. The devotion Shakespeare has bestowed on Bianca proves the claim where Shakespeare stresses the genuine capabilities women have for love despite their jobs. contrary to the beliefs of many men. Shakespeare also uses Emilia to prove the good in women by displaying Emilia’s selfless capabilities. Upon realizing the death of Desdemona, Emilia unearths that Othello's justification for this murder was false. Overcome by so much grief, Emilia, had to endure the threats that Iago shoots her way for unearthing this false basis (V.ii.281-282). Pure, loyal to Desdemona, and ultimately innocent, Emilia is killed. Because Emilia continues to do the right thing despite the threats Iago sends her way, she embodies good nature at its highest level. The qualities of purity--love, selflessness, and good nature--is shown through both Emilia and

Seen by Othello’s intuition about Desdemona cheating, it can be concluded that Criterion A7 applies to Othello. The criteria states that the patient “has recurrent suspicions, without justification, regarding fidelity of spouse or sexual partner” (American Psychiatric Association, 649). Right after Iago told him to watch Desdemona carefully, he tells Desdemona,

I believe Juliet loved Romeo more than Romeo loved Juliet because she was willing to take her life for him, he was the first person she had fallen in love with him, and he had been crying for another girl on the same evening he fell in "love" with Juliet. Juliet also forgave him for killing her cousin Tybalt.

When Emilia repeatedly says “my husband” in Act V it represents her pure shock and guilty feeling of Desdemona’s death. Emilia’s first act of unselfishness sacrifice is when she completely slandered her husband calling him a “pernicious soul” and that he should rot for his crimes. These words are what got her into danger. Immediately Othello draws his sword on her because of her loyalty and shock, and willingness to speak the truth.

different relationships that occur between the characters throughout the play. The play of Romeo and Juliet is considered to be a story of two star crossed lovers, meaning that they were destined to be together, but with a tragic end to their fated love. Romeo and Juliet have a fateful meeting, they fall in love with each other the moment they meet, not knowing that they're from feuding families. When they find out, they still continue their relationship and rush too quickly into things, creating many problems and making rash decisions. Although, they are not the only ones in the story who do, as many of the characters in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet,

Romeo and Juliet is a sorrowful book, written by William Shakespeare, which shows some relationship build while, others fall. Romeo and Juliet’s relationship is dependant on the Nurses and Juliet's relationship, as we get an idea of what Romeo’s and Juliet’s relationship could possibly end. Juliet and the Nurse have been together since Juliet was a baby, and is like a mother figure towards Juliet. The Nurse has a big mouth meaning that she speaks the truth without thinking about what she is about to say, unlike Juliet who is quite timid, she also, like a typical mother, scolds Juliet for taking a Montague’s side. However, the Nurse thinks about Juliet, and allows her to meet with Romeo secretly.

Further in to the play Othello's mistrust in Desdemona grows. Sam Wood argues,"It is Othello’s anxiety that Desdemona does not belong to him, or that the marital bond has been violated, that is the play’s main theme". Iago, Othello's sly and arguably jealous companion and colleague simply provokes Othello's jealousy and mistrust in Desdemona even more by successfully using his poisonous words to plant the seed of doubt in Othello, "She did deceive her father, marrying you,and when she seemed to shake and fear your looks,She loved them most." Iago makes Othello suspect Desdemona's faithfulness, he suggests a woman who disobeys and deceives her father is likely to do the same to her husband. Wood argues, "Iago rejects honesty because he feels

With the plan fully set Othello goes to her wife and tells her to go to bed. Othello knows it’s not going to be easy to kill the women who he thought he loved, but he knows he has to do it. Even though Desdemona is being strangled and slowly being killed she still shows her faithfulness and touches Othello’s face will she dies. With Othello successfully killing Desdemona, Iago fails to kill Cassio but does end up killing

For most people, when they hear “true love”, they might think two people. Two people that sees one another in a romantic way and created a relationship with deep meaning while having to take care and look after one another. In order to achieve this, it takes time, knowing each other carefully and thoroughly. In the play Romeo and Juliet, does this apply to the two young lovers? No, I don’t believe so, Romeo and Juliet's relationship is not true love.

After Othello sees that he starts questioning himself and become jealousy because he has the idea that his beloved wife is having an affair with his lieutenant, and he cannot bear the thought of her being with another man. Also that his good reputation would be smeared with the knowledge his wife was laying with another man. In addition to that it leads him to kill Desdemona even though she remained loyal to him. So when Othello finds out that Desdemona was never unfaithful to him he sees her for what she really was innocent and loyal. He finds out when Emilia finally confesses the truth. Emilia tells him that she was never with another man not even his Lieutenant Cassio, and that Iago set the entire thing up. She also confesses that she took

A relationship is the way two people connect. As illustrated by Desdemona, the wife of Othello, and Emilia, the wife of Iago. But, which couple defines what a true relationship is? In particular, a bond that remains close together that would not let anything destroy it. In the play Othello, Desdemona is based on loyalty and love whereas Emilia is more experienced and realistic.

Othello is not a person acquiring potential of true love. He is not in true love with Desdemona. It is just his affection towards Desdemona that he marries him. From the beginning of the play he is not sure whether Desdemona loves him or not. He admits it at the start of the play that he loves her because she has pity for his hardship.

Summarily, Romeo and Juliet share such a strong, perpetual relationship that they rather die together then have to live a life alone. Juliet, knows nothing about the murderous scene between Romeo, Tybalt, and Mercutio; she anxiously waits for Romeo. Juliet senses immediately that something is not right, when the nurse enters instead of Romeo. Initially, Juliet does not realize that Romeo killed her cousin, although she believes that Romeo has been killed. Cursing Romeo is Juliet's first reaction. Notwithstanding Juliet starts standing up for her husband.

The streets of Venice are loud as usual. After all the arguing and fighting between Othello and Brabantio they went to the chamber. Senators and the Duke were having a discussion about their current military conditions.They were apparently so worried about it because of the possibility and the chance for the Turkish Fleet to attack our land. But even so, the question on everyone's minds is simple. What will happen on a council-chamber with The Duke and senators sitting at a table discussing about the marriage between Othello and Desdemona.
