She is completely faithful to Othello, even after he kills her. She does not even blame him for it. To many people this seems like a strange and repellent thing, and they are ready to condemn Desdemona as a doormat who enables her abusive husband. However, Shakespeare wrote Desdemona as super-faithful to contrast with Othello's lack of faith in her, by turning from her on the basis of unfounded suspicions and ambiguous and fabricated "evidence". We also contrast her with Emilia, whose attitudes seem more realistic to us. Yet Emilia, in compromising her moral stance to get along with her husband, finds that she has inadvertently helped him to commit an atrocity. Desdemona is ideal--she sticks to her convictions and does good to others no matter how much evil is done to her. This makes her ideal not only in the sense that she is an image of perfect fidelity, but also in the sense that she is unreal.
