Othello
comment on the lines "my downright violence and scorn of fortunes. may trumpet to the world, my hearts subdued
Desdemona
Desdemona
Desdemona is very strong willed, shown, of course, by her marriage to Othello which would not have been approved by the characters in the play. Her heart is subdued by her love of Othello; she scorns fortune (laughs at it) because her heart is the "head" of her life.
