Women as Men

Women are not as capable as man, men are stronger and more intelligent.  All these are stereotypes were created long time ago. On where they believed woman were not as perfect as man were. Women were a deformation of man.  We can see how in Shakespeare play Othello woman were expected to be quiet and man controlled them. Men were allowed to tell woman what to do. We can see it with Desdemona and Othello, and with Emilia and Iago.  Women are expected to be poppets of the man. When Desdemona talked over Othello, he got offended and was something uncommon. In several occasions Othello tells Desdemona to leave the room she does it with out even questioning him. “O devil, devil! 
If that the earth could teem with woman's tears, 
Each drop she falls would prove a crocodile. 
Out of my sight!” Othello tells Desdemona. We can see how he talks to her in a mean way with out even caring there was another person there, or if she was hurt.  Desdemona answer to him “I will not stay to offend you.” I think here it shows how Desdemona feels vulnerable and she knows she can’t answer back.  Woman were poppets of man and were expected to do what they said so.

In the play Othello they accused Desdemona of cheating on Othello. Othello was offended, and knew he couldn’t stay with his arms crossed. With out even asking or wondering he accused her of betrayal.  He called her mistress and strumpet several times. Desdemona was not allowed to speak her mind. There is a scene on where Desdemona and Emilia speak about woman cheating. It is interesting seeing their different points of views. Desdemona believe woman couldn’t cheat on their husbands. For her eyes woman were true and pure. Woman had to satisfy their husband needs. “That there be women do abuse their husbands 
In such gross kind?” Desdemona asked Emilia. Emilia’s answers surprised Desdemona “There be some such, no question.”   Emilia believed woman were capable of anything and woman could do anything they wanted even unrespect their husbands.

Personally I believe cheating is not acceptable. Not just in women also in man. Women have gained a lot of more freedom but still we need to work on it. Woman should be able to do what men do and even more.  What woman are not expected to do such as unrespect man or talk over them man should do the same things toward woman. Men should do what they expect women to do for women to do the same thing like Emlia said “Then let them use us well: else let them know, The ills we do, their ills instruct us so.”
