In the play “Othello”, Shakespeare presents us with another male-dominated society in which women are inferior. Desdemona, Emilia and Bianca are rejected by their partners, but love them completely and selflessly. All three women have unbalanced relationships and feel more for their self-centered men who seem incapable of reciprocating their feelings. Nevertheless, these women display sincere feelings towards each other, unlike all friendships between men. Both Desdemona and Emilia are married to career soldiers. Newly married Desdemona is inexperienced (innocent) in the "real world" despite having been raised by a prominent Venetian senator. On the other hand, Emilia seems to have been married for some time. She knows the morals of a soldier, but only believes part of what her husband tells her. Although Emilia has been Desdemona's servant since the beginning of the play (perhaps much earlier), we don't really get an intimate view of their relationship until Act 4, Scene 3. During this scene, Emilia is really worried about Desdemona and her problems with Othello. . Desdemona tells him, “Even his stubbornness, his controls, his frowns – please untie me – have grace and favor in them (line 21).” She also tells Emilia if she is to die before her to wrap her body with the bed sheets. At first Emilia thinks it's just "words", but Desdemona begins to tell her the song she learned from her mother's servant.2
