Explain how the men and women in Shakespeare’s Othello misunderstand each other

Analysing the male and female relationships in William Shakespe ars Othello it is clear the sexes fail to understand to each one opposite, particularly on the custodys part. Whilst the wo workforce are more mature and tend to overestimate the custody, the men are consumed by their vanity and reputation and can non accept women honestly.Desdemona and Othellos miss of soul for each other contributes to their miscommunication. Othello cannot fully faith Desdemona because his recognize his too idealistic and he fails to comprehend her honest and realistic approach to knowShe love me for the dangers I had passedAnd I loved her that she did pity them.This implies that Desdemonas affections fuel his ego and he loves her for this more than anything else. Othellos worshipping of Desdemona prohibits him from truly understanding herO my fair warriorIf it were now to die,Twere to be most happy for I fearMy soul hath her mental object so absoluteThat not another comfort succeeds in unkn give birth fate.He does not distinguish her as human and capable of faultAnd when I love thee not,chaos is come again.Desdemona on the other hand does not romanticise Othello, but approaches their love realistically and maturely. She loves Othello for the person he is and does not shy(p) from the topic of consummationI saw Othellos visage in his mind.That I did love the Moor to see with him, if I be left behindThe rites for which I love him are bereft meHowever, as a good deal as Othello cannot understand her honest approach to love, nor can she comprehend his connection between their love and his honour. In this respect she overestimates Othello and fails to see his capacity for greedyyI think the sun where he was born move all such humours from him.Unwittingly, she wounds his pride by lying about the handkerchief and pursuing Cassios dispositionI say it is not lostThis is a trick to put me from my suit.Pray you permit Cassio be reliable again.The women are seen by the men as possessions and criteria for their honour. Othello cannot conceive that Desdemona is her own person and could take on emotions and opinions separate to his. She shows her self-assertiveness when she defends Cassio, but in doing so questions Othellos judgment. Youll never find a more sufficient man. Where sexuality is concerned, he seeks deal control over her. Her faithfulness is not only needed for his ego, (Cuckold me) but the hap that Desdemona has sexual desires frightens and bewilders himO curse of marriageThat we can call these creatures oursAnd not their appetitesIago also reflects this possessiveness over his wife. He accuses Cassio and Othello of having leapt into his seat which implies he owns Emilia, and is astounded when she defiantly reveals his malice at the endI will not act upon my tongueWhat, are you mad? I charge you get you home.Brabantios response to his daughters marriage holds a alike attitude. Desdemona, a maiden never bold, so still and quiet that she was scared of her own shadow, has been stolen from him. He intelligibly does not understand his daughter considerably for we soon see she is strong and assertiveThat I did love the Moor to live with him.My downright violence and scornMay trumpet to the world.Throughout the play Roderigos conduct is a prime example of how the men view the women as possessions. Hopelessly romanticising Desdemona, (who is not aware of his existence, let alone his love for her) he relentlessly pursues her attempting to purchase her through IagoTherefore make moneyIll contend all my land.Iago speaks of Othellos marriage in terms of piracy and of Desdemona as a treasure ship, reinforcing his ideas of women as possessionshe hath tonight boarded a land-carack.Interestingly, Emilia comments on this weakness of all men. In rail line to the mens complete misconceptions about women, Emilia shows awareness and perceptiveness of the opposite sex. She does understand that men stereotype women and forget they take away their own mindsLet husbands knowtheir wives have sense like them they see andsmell,And have palates for both reinvigorated and sourAs husbands have.She recognises the jealousy of mens natures.They are not ever jealous for the cause,But jealous for they are jealous.However, although she succinctly predicts what is behind Othellos behaviour, for all her worldliness, she fails to pinpoint the blame to her own husband. This suggests that maybe she doesnt know him that well to consider him capable of such malice. The Moors abused by some most villainous knave.Preoccupied with honour, the men categorise women into either whores or Madonnas, and fail to recognise them as individuals. Desdemona, a real lady, is continually referred to as divine and all the men greatly esteem her. Their respect is close to worship. Casio saysYou men of Cyprus, let her have your knees.Hail to thee, LadyRoderigo swears he loves her enough to incontinently drown himself. Even Iago says Now I do lov e her too and suggests he would like to sleep with her.Bianca, on the other hand, is immediately shunned for being a woman of the street and is not worthy of such high regard. The plays humanisation of her undercuts the mens one-dimensional perceptionI am no strumpet, but of life as honestAs you that thus abuse me.Unlike Desdemona, men cannot align their honour with such a woman as she has been used and is no longer pure. In contrast to his approach to the divine Desdemona Cassio says of Bianca, I marry her What A customer He is indifferent to her love for him, and Bianca does not realise that he will never take her seriously but always see her as a whoreTis such another fitchew Marry, a perfumed oneDesdemona does not understand how men can label women whores for she insists that such a woman does not exist, and she therefore does not understand mens preoccupation with honour-tell me, Emilia That there be women do abuse their husbandsIn such pull in kind?Misogynistic attitudes per petrated by Iago and eventually developed in Othello reveal a distrust of women, and affirm the lack of understanding between the sexes. To Iago, all women are whores. You rise to play and got to bed to work. He is rude to his own wife and unhesitatingly kills her. Villainous whore (He stabs her.) With Iagos manipulation, Othello adopts these views and his divine Desdemona falls straight from Madonna to whore. She has tainted his reputation and wounded his ego, (or so he believes) and he must kill her before she corrupts other men. Yet she must die, else shell sponsor more men. His words to her become bitter and scathingI took you for that cunning whore of VeniceThat married with Othello.The junto of their honour and misunderstanding of women makes the men easily jealous. We see this in their quickness to damn their wives as adulteresses without concrete evidence. Othello is so distrusting, the absence of a handkerchief becomes the ocular proof, when ironically he has seen nothing . His jealousy makes him willing to condemn. Damn her, raunchy minx Iago also accuses his wife with unfounded suspicion of sleeping with Cassio and OthelloHes done my office. I know not if it be true,But I, for mere suspicion in that kind,Will do as if for surety.The men and women in Othello do not understand each other. The mens preoccupation with honour and romantic ideals of love, leads them to misunderstand women regard them as either whores or Madonnas and possessions for men. The women, in contrast, are more mature and realistic. However women such as Desdemona overestimate the men and are unable to empathise with their attitudes, or recognise their jealous natures.
