Desdemona and Emilia are the center of attention; they are two women in the world of man and their power. Emilia plays a more important role then in Cinthio's tale; she gives her husband the handkerchief and the feminist vision. The ensign's wife is submissive and knew her husband's plan but did nothing about it. He also allowed the ensign to use his son as a tool to carry out his plan to obtain the handkerchief. Cinthio seems to have a repressive role as a woman because she does not correct her husband's ways. Emilia is faithful to both Desdemona and her husband. Emilian feminism responds to Desdemona if the wife cheats on her husband. “Yes, a dozen: and many to the advantage…it's the husbands' fault” (IV.III.83-85) and so Emilia understands that women have the same desire as men but also how Iago treats her abusively. Shakespeare also gives the prosecutor the name the captain was under; Bianca is given more identity than that of a simple prosecutor almost as if she presents the handkerchief to Othello, Cassio and Iago. Bianca wanted more than just Cassio's lover, but she was pressured by society not to topple Cassio. The woman in the Victorian era was seen as the property of her husband and submissive. The gender role of a woman lets us know the difference in social values ​​and statues of women during the Victorian era
