Why does anyone fall in love? Othello has many fine qualities which a young woman might admire: he is brave, apparently confident, kind and loving. But Desdemona's love is not hero-worship, as Othello supposes. She sees that he feels out-of-place in Venetian society, and that his apparent confidence masks humility and vulnerability about his own worth, and loves him the more for it. It is this humility which makes him a better leader and a better lover. It is also this trait which makes him vulnerable to the designs of someone like Iago.
