Marilyn French, 1982
= In spite of her assertiveness in choosing her own husband, French suggests Desdemona ‘accepts her culture’s dictum that she must be obedient to males’ and is ‘self-denying in the extreme’ when she dies.
"My love doth so approve him that even his stubbornness, his checks, his frowns...have grace and favor in them." (Act 4, Scene 3)
Desdemona knows she must be thankful for Othello's flaws, even if they scare her, she knows she must accept it and still obey him.
