- W2148045762 abstract "There can be little doubt that by filching Desdemona’s handkerchief Emilia catalyzes her husband’s actions against Othello. To be sure, the handkerchief supplies Iago with the ocular proof he needs to convince the Moor of Desdemona’s infidelity. However, there remains the question of how much, if any, moral responsibility is to be attributed to Emilia for her complicity in Iago’s plot. Critics concur that the question of why Emilia both lies directly to Desdemona and then neglects to speak up even when Othello angrily confronts his wife about the whereabouts of the handkerchief is a deeply problematic one. However, even a cursory glance at the literature points to a critical divide about the answer to this question. Although I agree with Carole Thomas Neely that Emilia is prey to the dominant ideology of wifely virtue, I do not believe that it is either her conception of duty or her desire to act in accord with this ideology that compels her to lie. As the willow scene makes clear, Emilia recognizes the degree to which women’s pre-ordained social roles both consign them to suffer and restrict their freedom to act, and to a certain extent, she accepts her social role. But she does not identify with it, that is, she does not buy into it, and for the right price, she would defy it. Indeed, it is freedom, not necessity, which initiates Emilia’s lies, both to herself and to Desdemona. She lies to Desdemona because she has chosen to live in denial of a truth which she cannot acknowledge: that she had the choice to act otherwise, and now, this denial has become the truth in which she lives." @default.
