Essay --

Shakespeare at Othello, used sole(prenominal) three female characters in his play, Desdemona, Emilia, and Bianca. Along with the play, Biancas boyfriend, Cassio, did not pry her enough to hook up with her, so he did not get jealous or treat her badly. Opposing to Othello and Iago, they honored Emelia and Desdemona enough to marry them, so jealousy pushed them to treat their wives badly. plainly on both cases Desdemona, Bianca, and Emelia still share the fact that they are victims and tools for those whom they loved the most.Firstly, Biancas boyfriend did not get jealous on her because she was not his wife, so he did not find a reason to treat his prostitute badly. Cassio was almost afraid to hurt Biancas feelings during the play. He used to act in front of her that he cares. A good evidence about this is when she shows up while he is waiting for Desdemona to bring him good news from Othello about legal transfer him back to work. He was not happy to see her. Once he saw her he s aid, What make you from home?(3.1), but after he says this, he recognize that he should not be so rude with her, so he tells her a nice lie, How is it with you, my most fair Bianca? / I faith, sweet love, I was flood tide to your house (3.4). She answers, And I was going to your lodging, Cassio. / What, keep a week away? seven days and nights? (3.4). One equally important evidence shows how Cassio respected her feelings, is that he had never insulted her personally, yet he did it behind her back. When Bianca comes in after Cassio and Iago were talking, Cassio says, Tis such another fitchew marry a perfumed one (4.1). The word fitchew means a polecat, which means a bad smell that is known for people as excessively stink. The phrase Tis such another shows how Cassi... ...did give my husband /For lots with a solemn earnestness /More than indeed belonged to such a trifle/ He begged of me to stealt. (5.2). Emelia was nothing but a tool for Iago, he manages to kill her once she says th e truth without appreciating what she has done to him all over her life. In conclusion, females position in Othello, clarifies that unmarried women would have a higher level of respect from the men they love because there is no jealousy nor commitments, or in other words, they do not care enough about them, but they only care about what they take from them, which is sex. Unlike married women, who were respected enough to be married from men, but jealousy turns their relationship into a life where respect does not take a place. Though, In all cases women are subjected to be victims and tools to men who do not appreciate their love and caring enough.
