Act 4, Scene 2, Emilia

Nor ever heard, nor ever did suspect. (page 193)
Othello should really believe Emilia because he is with her all the time and if she is with her shouldn't she know about all of Desdemona's where abouts. I don't think that Emilia would lie to the governor of there little island because then in the long run she will get in trouble for lying and i know she doesn't want that since Othello is into killing people for one wrong.
This quote happens in everyday life whereas the wife, husband, girlfriend or boyfriend has friends and the other spouse doesn't want to believe because they are friends and doesn't want to betray them so they lie but sometimes they do tell the truth but i think that if Emilia came to Othello like Desdemona is cheating, i think he wouldn't believe her her because it could be a lie to get her in trouble just because she is mad at her.
Cozening:
To mislead by means of a petty trick or fraud; deceive. (page 203)
* Why do you think that Othello has a trust issue but he trust the person that is untrustworthy?
* why do think that Emilia wants to help Desdemona although she is basically her boss?
