" Let husbands know their wives have sense like them. They see, and smell, ... What is it that they do when they change us for others? Is it a sport? I think it is...And have not we affections, Desire for sport, and frailty, as men have?" (p.217).
FRAILTY- A FAULT, MORAL WEAKNESS, STATE OF BEING WEAK IN HEALTH OR BODY.
Emilia sees women more equal to men then the most of the women in the play and in the time period. In this scene she talks about how a lot of women cheat and that it is okay to cheat if your husband cheats on you first. I think this is all coming out because she is in rage that Othello told Desdemona to 'let her go'. She hasn't done anything wrong. She may also feel badly about men because she is seeing Iago and he doesn't treat her well. Desdemona and Emilia talk about infidelity. Emilia says in the quote that we have no different desires that men have.
Does Emilia suspect that Othello may try to murder Desdemona tonight?
Why does Emilia talk so badly about men?
