Othello Journal 6
I think Desdemona has a very mild personality. She wants to please people but at the same time stands up for what she believes in, in Cassio's case. Her main desire is to do anything that will benefit Othello which makes the accusations against her ironic, because cheating is the last thing she would do. Desdemona is very kind and forgiving, and I think she only sees the good in people, such as her husband. Her motivation for acting the way she does is that she loves Othello.

It's not often that you see someone like Desdemona. She was murdered by someone she really loved, for honestly no reason. Yet her last words weren't cursing Othello, they were words to protect him, out of her love. When a person is about to die, nothing really matters anymore. Desdemona could have said anything she wanted. Yet she chose to not blame Othello.
