Ot fossao
After reading the play Othello, the interpretation I developed is a mix of feminist - as in fe masculines being utilise in male dominated society and feminist - as in females being strong in a male dominant society. This is because I believe that the play Othello incorporates both of these.
Society in the 1600s expected women to be submissive and obedient to their husbands and other men. William Shakespeare ofttimes described the women in his plays as strong, confident individuals, different to the stereotypic roles of the time. However, this is spoilt when they continue being dependent on men, when they ingest to men and when they defend men.
Women were assumed to be untrustworthy. Eve seduced tenner banishing mankind from the Garden of Eden, and Pandoras curiosity made completely hell break loose on the world. With this image, women had little chance for a good reputation.
Along with this was the belief that there was no way to sound out if a woman was being unfaithful. The quote: O thoroughly painted passion indicates this assumption (IV.i.250).
In Othello, all of the three women collapse no separate identity. They are all unify or associated with a male character. Bianca is the mistress of Cassio, Emilia is married to Iago and Desdemona is married to Othello.
That we call these delicate creatures ours and not their appetites, says Othello (III.iii.269). This quote shows that the men considered the women their possessions, and that they must(prenominal) be controlled like children.
The women were also often referred to as jewels, provender (to satisfy the mens appetite), or treasure.
At the time that Othello was written, men held all the power and the women were considered to be of low intelligence. But it is the women who speak the about sense throughout the play...
I think it needs a better introduction and conclusion. Also, were you allowed to use the words, I, we in your essay?
Overall, you showed a great analysis on the play and it was very sweet to read. Well done :)
