Othello Song Reflection

The song that I have chosen to represent the conflict between Othello and Desdemona is "Faithfully" by journey. Throughout the entire play, Desdemona remained loyal to Othello to the point of death. Even when he threatened her life and eventually took it, Desdemona remained obedient and faithful to her husband. Because of actions like this, I think this song describes the relationship Othello and Desdemona had. The song's chorus states "I'm forever yours, faithfully." This really conveys the gist of their relationship in the fact that Desdemona never cheated on Othello and had even stood by him as he wrongfully killed her. She behaved as though she was truly forever his wife in life and in death. Because of the parallels between the song and situation, I think that this song accurately portrays the complex and indirect relationship Desdemona and Othello had.
