What was expected of wives in Shakespeare's Othello?
They were expected to take care of the house by cooking and cleaning, present themselves well, perform in bed, and be generally obedient and subservient to their husbands.
Othello wasn't written in the 1950s! Women like Desdemona or Emilia did not "take care of the house by cooking and cleaning". They had servants to do that. They were expected to be generally obedient and subservient by the more puritanical members of society. However, the reality was far different, as Shakespeare is at pains to point out. Unmarried women, according to the same sources, were supposed to be obedient and subservient to their fathers, but Desdemona is anything but to Brabantio.
Certainly Othello's action in publicly striking Desdemona was shocking, outrageous and way out of line, and is seen to be so by everyone who witnesses it.
