Desdemona is often viewed as a virtuous and innocent character, embodying loyalty and love, particularly in her relationship with Othello. However, some characters perceive her as deceitful or unfaithful, particularly Iago, who manipulates others' perceptions of her. Her strength and agency are sometimes overshadowed by societal norms that label her as submissive or passive, leading to mixed opinions about her character. Ultimately, Desdemona's tragic fate highlights the complexities of how individuals are judged based on gender and societal expectations.
