In the play Othello, The Moor of Venice Desdemona, a young beautiful girl played the role as the daughter of Brabantio and wife of Othello. She ran off from her father’s home to be with her husband in an isolated, embattled post of Cyprus. This is where Othello possesses moral authority of a spouse and legal powers of a governor. Desdemona leaving home and marrying Othello in the end was a wrong decision; she had placed herself in a position to be a victim by virtue. ... Her guiltless death was led by Iago who deceived Othello into believing Desdemona had committed adultery with his once-trusted second in command, Cassio.
For 17th century women there was little say and power, but Desdemona change that tradition when she took off with Othello without her father’s consent.
