However, once an accusation of adultery is thrown at her, he lent toward believing it, even when he knew she was very chaste and noble. Because she was a woman, all of that was thrown out of the window in his mind. She was immediately transformed into a whore and nothing else. He didn't bother questioning the legitimacy of Iago because of his male word against hers. -Alexa]]> 2022-02-09 18:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jkemano/6e778po36mq5gpog/wish/2038665165 0805578 https://padlet.com/jkemano/6e778po36mq5gpog/wish/2038666340 In the play, it becomes clear that Othello is the main character as well as the hero of the story. However, the main antagonist of the story Iago makes it his goal to destroy the relationship built by Desdemona and Othello by making Othello believe that Desdemona cheated on him. This broke down Othello as a man to the point where jealousy and anger took him to a place where he wanted to kill his wife, all because of a lie told by Iago.

Something that back then was a terrible thing for a female to do. If Desdemona was a boy her father wouldn't have been near as upset, but because she is a woman it is a serious offense.

This is also seen at the end of the play when Emilia goes against her husband Iago and exposes him as a liar. These things were not seen during this time period for Women and are great examples of Feminine perspective in Othello. Often in relationships people make sacrifices that can often defy important people in their lives.

Within Marxist criticism discusses human relations based on the struggle for economic and social power, also easily correlated to the  statement, "the have and have nots." I connected this to deception within Othello by way of I ago's actions. He enacted revenge on both Othello and Casio, after Othello promoted and not Iago. Iago felt cheated out of that position, which would ultimately assist him both socially and economically.    (Icarus Brashear-Simmons)]]> 2022-02-09 19:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jkemano/6e778po36mq5gpog/wish/2038673962 0814959 https://padlet.com/jkemano/6e778po36mq5gpog/wish/2038674178 In Othello we see Barbantio believe that the marriage between Desdemona and Othello is unnatural to him. He believes that Desdemona should not marry a person of color. He doesn't believe that she could even love a man of a different race. She goes against her father's wishes which at that time was a very wrong thing to do.

Othello carrys the archetype of the Tragic hero, a person blinded by justice to the point that in thier quest they cause immense fallout and in most cases fail their goal in an ironic fashion. Desdemona shows the archetype of innocence, throughout the entireity of the story desdemona trusts her husbands judgement up to the very end and used her dying breath to attempt to clear the name of othello by saying that nobody had killed her. Finally Iago radiates the archetype of the manipulator he uses manupilation, slander, mistrust, and lies throughout the entire story to further his goal to take the place of Cassio which in the end failed as all of his wrong doings where revealed by his wife, othello and him although by accident at first. ]]> 2022-02-09 19:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jkemano/6e778po36mq5gpog/wish/2038677892 0805537 https://padlet.com/jkemano/6e778po36mq5gpog/wish/2038680431 During this era, women were something to be shown off. Iago lies about different women to get both revenge and satisfaction from people's wrong actions. This creates an image in Othello's head that Desdemona cheats on Othello when in reality he was overhearing Rodrigo and Iago talking about Bianca. This gives him the goal to kill Desdemona because he doesn't trust what she says since she's a woman.

A motif in Othello is "mutual respect and cooperation from spouses is a necessity in any long-lasting relationship". In Othello, this theme comes to light in that Othello and Desdemona are not able to cooperate as a unit when something goes wrong; This is the reason their relationship was a complete disaster. - Audra Walmsley]]> 2022-02-09 19:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jkemano/6e778po36mq5gpog/wish/2038683765 0808124 https://padlet.com/jkemano/6e778po36mq5gpog/wish/2038684552 They way the characters talk and communicate throughout the play and during that time period is much different than today's standard. The tone used when Othello and Desdemona are fighting about her unfaithfulness is very aggressive and hostile. In today's world this same argument might differentiate in the level of seriousness. -Dash]]> 2022-02-09 19:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jkemano/6e778po36mq5gpog/wish/2038684552 0805277 https://padlet.com/jkemano/6e778po36mq5gpog/wish/2039099887 Desdemona knows what she wants and who she loves.

During the play, Othello slapped Desdemona then commanded her to leave, as she was leaving, the man that Othello was talking with was impressed with how obedient she is to Othello, which causes Othello to call her back, and she does as she was told to do. That scene shows that the females in that society were dominated by the male figures.

Any time males told especially female characters to do something they listened. There were never questions to the instructions given to them, they just did so or even took what was dished out to them. For example Desdemona's relationship with Othello, she was always obedient and listened even if she was hurt, she listened to him and did as she was asked.
