blog 6 choice 3

If I were to be Desdemona and Othello were to speak to me like he is speaking to her in this act, I would be truly affected and hurt. Especially in line 38 when he tells Desdemona that she is lying that she doesn't just belong to him. I know that Desdemona must of felt horrible because she is being told by the man that she has fallen in love with and has married against her father consent and now she is being treated like a dirty “whore” which he keeps calling her a whore to Emilia. Also I would feel betrayed and disgusted because he is asking other people if Desdemona or if I was Desdemona, was flirting with Cassio or having little secret between them. If I was Desdemona, I would defend myself as much as I could and also I would try to show that I have only been with Othello and no one else, I would try to find people that have been with me and then have them explain to him that I have had no sexually connection with Cassio or any other man. I would neither toss my wedding sheets on the bed nor walk out the door because I believe that if I were to toss the sheets on the bed, it would show evidence that I was a virgin when you had me but it is not enough to show that I am have been faithful to him. I would not leave neither because that can show that I am guilty which I am not so I would speak to him and if he would not listen or understand I would have someone close to me that he knows would not lie to speak to him the truth which I know would be a problem at this point because of all the lies that Iago has fed Othello about Desdemona having a affair. I don't think Desdemona has any choice then to stay and hope that everything cools down because she does not know what is being told to Othello which if I were in her shoes I would have tried to find out from Othello or people around him.
