Desdemona
Desdemona — A Play About a Handkerchief
Shakespeare never really answers the propelling question and doubt of infidelity in Othello. Not unlike jealousy itself, the belief in Desdemona's innocence is rooted in prejudice cemented through the collective stigma of predatory male sexually and female innocence.
Paula Vogel utilizes this overlooked characteristic of the play and our society to raise an unbiased and inquiring discourse about the empowerment of women without whitewashing or demonizing genders themselves.
