Desdemona

I want you to go back in time many years ago, the sixteenth century in Shakespeares time where there was hardly any technology and the confederation was genuinely different. Now If thats hard to imagine thats ok because Im an actor in the 21st century hear to splatter to you about Desdemona. Desdemona was a beautiful, young, white Venetian girl but excessively she disobeys her fathers expectations by marrying a black man, she also chall(a)enges the society that largely disapproves of intercultural marriages and also she gets abused by her husband.In this way, Desdemonas descent with Othello speaks to the plays concerns with the 16th century attitudes about Lust, Defying social standards of the 16th century and also domestic violence. For example in the play it shows this by Othello saying She loved me for the dangers I have passed, and I loved her, that she did mildness them. This is an example of a foreshadowing technique used to hint readers a certain plot develop handst th at will come later in the story.Also this quote is telling us that this is ardent admiration, which tells us that Desdemona is steady not matured. To think about her future and what societys expectations are. She admire the stories that Othello told about his brave journeys. In nowadays young teenagers are not drawn by personality but by looks and popularity. Also, Desdemona disobeys her fathers wish by refusing to marry any handsome, rich Venetian workforce and she goes for Othello an old black man, outside of the Venetian society.For example her farther says. looking to her, Moor, if though hast eyes to see, She has deceived her farther, and whitethorn thee. This shows that Desdemona is a disloyal timber and may disobey her husband as well, she also goes against the societies expectations by defying standards such as not owing the calling to her farther and then a duty to her husband. Also Intercultural marriages where she marries a black man rather than a white man.In moder n societies most young people disobey their parents and take place their own will due to their immaturity. Desdemona gets verbally and physically abused by Othello who slapped her and called her a whore in public towards the end of the play, when she was dying she quiesce blames herself for othellos physical and emotional abuses. In current situations people all around the world especially women get abused by men and usual, stand up for their husbands exactly what Desdemona did back then.Well, there you go even if this plays were written in the 16th century even in nows time we still have the themes lust, domestic violence and societies expectations in todays time. Its easy for us to engage with the characters in that timeframe due to the setting , the characters are realistic and likely and even this themes are considered in todays society in different concepts.
