Othello 7
In Act V of Othello, I found it interesting how now Emilia proves her worth once again in both her actions and her words. She proves her worth in her actions by interrupting Othello murdering Desdemona. She again proves her merit in the discussion she has with both Othello and the various men that come to. In her talking with Othello, Emilia clues in to Iago's poor chapter when she says, "He lies to the heart,"(V,ii,155). Othello then begins to weigh the morality and honesty that he believes Iago to have in his words and actions. Emilia has no fear to speak up and even against the crowd when the reality of the words and actions that her husband has done reveal themselves. She has no problem in speaking about the handkerchief that actually was of great importance to portraying Cassio as a cheater and Desdemona a whore in the eyes of Othello. This dialogue revealed a little but more about the situation if Iago being the real villain too. When Emilia says, "He begged of me to steal it,"(V,iii,228). It's is actually of great importance because it shows to the men with Iago that he is a fake and has caused much of what has and is happening.
