Examine how Shakespeare presents the relationship between Othello and Desdemona here and elsewhere in the play.

This section of the play is where Othello has just arrived in Cyprus and they have found out there was a storm in which the Venetian ships survived but the Turkish ships were destroyed. Othello and Desdemona have a strong relationship, which is full of love and devotion.

In conclusion, Shakespeare represents each of the stages of the relationship between Othello and Desdemona clearly and shows how and why Othello's feelings towards Desdemona change and how this comes about through the words of someone so small yet so powerful. Also, Shakespeare makes the audience want to react to the way that Othello is treating Desdemona because of what Iago has said.
