Desdemona Is Guilty In Shakespeare's Othello

Othello’s mental state needs to be deteriorating quickly compared to yesterday’s assessment. While everything seemed to be promising in our previous session, Othello now looks to be more stressed and overly emotional. Particularly, he is questioning his recent marriage to Desdemona and her faithfulness due to certain recent conversations with his Ensign, Iago. Impassioned and distraught, Othello confided in me, stating, ”Why did I marry? This honest creature doubtless /Sees and knows more, much more, than he unfolds.”(3.3.248-249). I interpret this to mean that he believes Iago holds the truth to Desdemona’s faithfulness, and his word is law. It is troubling to me that Othello would trust this man so quickly and forget his vows this easily.
