: i'm writing to see if u can reply with the main quotes in othello that show feminism and if u can give me any other views on the topic. : : In regards to the feminism question, one could almost define the entire Elizabethan society as antifeministic by today's standards, as women were valued only for loyalty to their man (husb or dad), ornamental beauty, and reproductive uses. : : Desdemona in fact disobeys her father pre-exposition, thus I would be hesistant to clify her as entirely anti-feminist. : : Her, Emilia and Bianca exemplify the duality of their society's views on women as either madonna (the above qualities, and paradoxically al whilst reproductively active) or (ie fickle, impure, cunning), not between. : : Othello doesn't to a modern audience seem unlucky (or at least in my mind) as he kills desd. despite her innocence due to his lack of communication, and his incessant need to uphold his reputation (poss due to being black-overcompensation) : : However, an Elizabethan society may have accepted and related to these "downfalls" as mere pragmatic realities of their way of life, so to them they may see him as merely unlucky for being manipulated by his 'friend' Iago. : : My question: "Any good sites on Othello, Shakespeare or (totally unrelated) Catcher in the Rye??? : : as I am tutoring English and English Literature students and would like as much info for them as possible. Thanks : : Please if you have any answers or more questions, e-mail me: spasmogal@theglobe.com as the follow ups don't show up on my computa
