Women have often been seen as those who use their words to fight and are quick to hold grudges against others, but this is not true if you look to friendship between women. Women hold their friendships close to their hearts and go through the best and worst times together, it could also be the concept of how women need to stick together to survive. The bond between women is something that cannot be broken in any way and will last a lifetime, this is due to the strong dependence on the emotional bonds they share. Desdemona and Emilia in William Shakespeare's Othello, the Moor of Venice show this bond between women through Shakespeare's use of foreshadowing. As Desdemona begins to realize her destiny, she tells her dear friend Emilia “Lay my wedding sheets on my bed” (4.3.108-110). Desdemona had begun to realize how upset Othello was, even if she didn't know why he was, she knew that he would end up killing her. Just as one of her last requests to her dear friend asks for her wedding sheets. In the end it really foreshadows his death. Soon after Emelia, starting to realize that there is something very wrong with the whole situation, states "I will be hanged if some eternal villain, some thief busy insinuating, some deceitful and deceitful slave to get some assignment has not devised this slander " (4.2.138-140 ). This shows how distraught she is and foreshadows that once she realizes that her husband Iago is the villain, she is quick to betray him as a wife and leave him to the wolves. His first duty was to his lady and friend Desdemona who was killed due to the horrible selfishness of the manipulative Iago. Even before that, when Othello had spoken ill of Desdemona before killing her... middle of paper... in Trifles it is evident that all the women think it is nonsense, but it is those little things that are important and should be considered, when men will only look at the big picture. Although the thinking methods are different, that doesn't mean either is wrong. Works Cited Glasspell, Susan. "Nonsense" Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, Drama, and Writing. 11th ed.
