Othello 4

Emilia: "She give it Cassio! No, alas, I found it, and I did give 't my husband."

Emilia is probably my favorite character. She really proved to be a dynamic and very crucial character. At the beginning of the story, she let Iago walk all over her. He constantly disrespected her, and she just took it. But, as the story progressed, she underwent a significant change. She developed the courage to stand up to Iago. If it wasn't for her, the resolution of the story may have been different. Emilia prevented Iago from getting away with his heinous lies.  This was a big deal because in that time period, women didn't have that much respect. They weren't really listened too, but the officials let her speak. By allowing Emilia to talk, the truth came out.
