Desdemona is portrayed by William Shakespeare as a strong, independent woman who acts brashly against her father's wishes and elopes with Othello. However as the play progresses, she is intertwined in Iago's plot of destroy Othello by making Othello believe that Desdemona is having an affair behind his back with Cassio, an inferior officer. Though she repels Cassio's advances, she is framed by Iago with a handkerchief that belonged to Desdemona but was planted by Iago in Cassio's possession as proof that Desdemona was having an affair. She morphs from a strong independent woman to a naive, helpless woman who is later killed by her husband in her own bed.
