Characters

I found it interesting that Desdemona tries to prove to Othello that she is truly a virgin. She pleads with him, however, Othello doesn't budge. What I don't get is how Othello can ruthlessly just kill the woman he is sopposedly in love with. I know many get upset, but to just kill one's life without hearing her out. It says a lot about Othello. It really does show his darker side. The fact that he is involved with the army might add to it and how he is used to killing and seeing people get killed, but the fact that he can just kill his wife appalls me. Yes, he did cry in the movie, but Shakespear doesn't say if he did that in the play or not. That is just someone's take on the play. I really like Emilia. I think her loyalty to Desdemona is honorable. She layed there when Desdemona was dead on the bed. She faught with Iago on how he was a coward (much women of that time would have not faught with their husbands). I do find it interesting how there is a loyal character and an unloyal character in the play as well as two (one could consider Othello bad for killing his wife) villians. It's almost as if Shakespear is trying to convey a children's stories much like the Grimm brothers did (they wrote Cinderella, Snow Whie, Sleeping Beauty but in a much darker sense). One must see the villian, and the reader begins to hate the villian (as they should) much like how it is in the Grimm Brothers.
