In the last scene of Othello, Desdemona recovers long enough from the smothering that her jealous husband has inflicted upon her to pronounce her complete innocence, and with her last breath tells Emilia, "a guiltless death I die" (V, ii., l.120). Plainly, Iago has deceived Othello into believing that his beautiful young wife has committed adultery with his once-trusted second in command, Cassio. That being so, Desdemona is clearly innocent of the charges embodied in Iago's cunning innuendoes, and is a victim who does not deserve the tragic end that she suffers. Nevertheless, Desdemona has put herself in a position to be a victim by virtue of her decision to marry the Moor and to go with him to the isolated, embattled post of Cyprus where Othello possesses not only the moral authority of a spouse but also the legal powers of a governor. The question naturally arises: Why does Desdemona make these tandem choices? By the time that we first see Desdemona in the middle of Act I, scene iii, we have been told that she is a young Venetian noblewoman, the beloved daughter of Senator Brabantio, who has married the military hero of the city-state othello, desdemona, iii, upon, husband, desdemona's, wife, scene, othello's, moor, first, father's, cassio, brabantio, says, position, over, marriage, ii, iago, duke, cyprus, being, young, world, woo, without, victim, very, venice, venetian, told, thee, suit, stories, soul Word Count: 1117 Acceptance_Essays American_History Anatomy_&_Physiology Animal_Science_&_Zoology Anthropology Architecture Art Astronomy Aviation Biographies Book_Reports Business Computers Creative_Writing Current_Events Economics Education Engineering English Environmental_Science Ethics European_History Film_&_TV Foreign_Languages Geography Government_&_Politics Health_&_Beauty History_Other Human_Sexuality Legal_Issues Marketing Mathematics Medicine Miscellaneous Music Mythology Philosophy Physics Poetry Political_Science Psychology Religion Science Shakespeare Social_Issues Sociology Speech Sports_&_Recreation Supernatural Technology Theater Theses_&_Dissertations
