SAMPLE PARAGRAPH: In Shakespeare’s Othello, Desdemona’s love for Othello is true love because she cares for his struggles and gives him greater importance in her life than anyone else. Desdemona is emotionally moved by the slavery, travels, and battles that Othello endures because Othello tells all that “I loved her that she did pity them [his struggles]” (Shakespeare ). In this quotation, Othello explains how he and Desdemona fell in love, informing the audience that she fell in love with him after listening to the story of his journeys. This declaration of her love proves that her love is true and will not waiver because she has compassion for him. Later, Desdemona tells her father that she now owes a greater duty to Othello than to Brabantio when she states, “I am hitherto your daughter. But here’s my husband. And so much duty as my mother showed to you, preferring you before her father, so much I challenge that I may profess due to the Moor my lord” (Shakespeare ). In this example, Desdemona attempts to convince her father not to be angry about her marriage to Othello by comparing her marriage to the marriage of her parents. She says that her mother owed more duty to her husband (Desdemona’s father) than to her own father once she became a wife. Here, she is proving her love by showing allegiance to Othello even in the face of her father’s anger. This evidence proves that Desdemona’s love for Othello is true because she has compassion for his past and demonstrates loyalty to him.
