- "The case of Desdemona is complex as she suffers the conventional fate assigned to the desiring woman."
- "Shakespeare's representation of her dislocates the conventional ideology of gender within the play.”
Ultimately, Desdemona is blamed for attracting the gaze of other men. Perhaps this attraction could stem from her lack of understanding of what is means to be a good Venetian wife, since her naivety results in her flouting gender expectations i.e. to be submissive, thus maybe making her seem more innocent and therefore more attractive.
