Emilia

I wanted to do one of my opinion blogs on Emilia because she was a dynamic character. Also, i felt like she had a bad connotation throughout the entire play. In the beginning, she always did as her husband ask of her. Iago had asked her to get the handkerchief from Desdemona, as his wife she obliged. (III.III.310-317) Also, she always seemed to hide in his shadow and never stand up for herself even when Iago spoke horribly about women in Act II. However, at the end of Act V, Emilia finally stands up for herself. (V.II.219-235) She finally realizes that it was her husband who was in charge of this disaster and she can not believe it. Emilia gains the courage to do whats right and tell her husband what a fool he was. She dies for her actions. Besides Emilia being Iago's wife, she was a servant to Desdemona. She was loyal and stood up for Desdemona just as a good friend would do.
