What is marriage without true love? Without true love it would be a miserable experience that would last a lifetime with the possible side effects of infidelity. Marriage is defined as a close and intimate union, according to Google.com. This union impacts the entire life of those who are in love. Those two people will be forces to reconcile some differences to make their love last. Trust and humbleness play an important role in marriage. He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord (Proverbs 18:22). Each and every couple in Othello was faced with obstacles that needed to be conquered. They are the epitome of married couples today.
Marriage in the late twentieth century is thought to be like a utopia. Twentieth century marriages were modern, classic, or idealistic. It did not include inter-racial marriages, divorces, or infidelity. The idea of marriage was a big epidemic that was believed to have lasted a lifetime, which is true today with various twists. Purity was the character of marriage in the twentieth century. Everyone have their own perception of love and marriage, but true love and marriage is unchangeable. Today is an entirely different story. There are so many false ideas of love that leads to mistaken marriages. Just because he or she says he or she loves you does not mean they do.
Barbantio and his wife is a superior example of twentieth century love. They were pure with love. They were both in Desdemona’s life. Their trust was impeccable. It was like a bridge in the middle of the city, strong, and could only be destroyed by destruction on purpose. Barbantio took Desdemona’s secrecy hard. He was very disappointed, and felt betrayed and bamboozled. The race facture was equally divided within that betrayal and disappointment. Inter-racial marriages were not seen fully until after the pass of the thirteenth amendment. They were not fully constant with adapting to change, and could not stable their minds around an African American son-law. Desdemona relocated with Othello which gave them doubts. They let her go on to live her life as she pleased. It killed them emotionally, but they did what they thought was best. They let go.
The concept of jealousy in marriage is indescribable. Marriages with this problem will not and does not last long. Jealousy all around is a negative state of mind. Jealousy leads to insecurity. Jealousy, the act of being resentful and envious of another’s success, will never open the passage to love someone completely. Eventually their love would lead to envy. Envy in a relationship would just segregate the couple farther apart. The couple would surely get the complete picture.
Jealousy against another couple is ridiculous. Everyone’s relationship has their flaws and some are seen more clearly and to the point than others. The other couple’s relationship is not at risk it is the person whose jealous relationship that is spiraling downward. Why should people compare lovers? Love that person for them not for the next couple. That person would surely start to feel insecure if they are always being compared to another person.
Iago and Emilia are the primary examples of jealousy within a marriage. Although they were not jealous of each other, they were jealous of Othello and Desdemona’s relationship. Iago was the mastermind of the relationship. He controlled Emilia. She “found” the handkerchief to give to Iago. Iago was a person who satisfied his own needs not others. Emilia was a more down to earth person who is obedient to her husband. She was a true friend to Desdemona even though she was the wife of the antagonist. Iago should have never been trusted; he always tried to manipulate everyone with his false accusations. He was not really favored of Emilia, but she was his wife. Iago and Emilia was a very unordinary couple. It really make many wonder how exactly did they fall in love and resulted to marriage. They really seem like two completely different characters of people, but as the wise once said love sometimes is blind.
