Desdemona the Woman of Desire... I guess...

As all of you know by reading the title Desdemona is the one to be with in the Shakespearean days. She's the perfect woman, in beauty at least. Of course I am just assuming this because, in the play, she doesn't seem to show much trickery, but this could mean she's more trustworthy then anyone else in this arrangement.  She's not like Iago, that squirrel, and she's not like Roderigo, the desperate one.  In the picture below she is depicted like she is in the play. (I think she is pretty ugly.)

She is the one that is wanted by Roderigo, Othello(husband), and now recently, Cassio, the man that "stole" Iago's job, Lieutenant.  As you can tell she's at the center of the drama. She also ran away from her father for the moor, Othello. Timeline for Desdemona's life in Othello here.  That is a wonderful summary, but it is a large SPOILER ALERT.  



That video is hilariously true and very worth your watching.
