Desdemona

One of the most interesting part of Shakespeare's "Othello" comes in at Act I, Scene 3 when Desdemona addresses her father about the "divided duty" she felt. Desdemona also tells her "noble" father that she is thankful for all the provisions throughout the years. She then lets him know that Othello is her husband and like her mother, she was going to have to "prefer" her husband over her father.

I thought that was interesting because Shakespeare penned "Othello" in the 1600s, however, the subject matter still resonates today. Though there are deeper issues that brandish Othello's rejection as Desdemona's husband, a typical father - daughter dynamic can be seen at that moment. That makes the issue easy to relate to and modern. Desdemona is able to walk the line and show loyalty to her dear father but also that she's going to be a devoted wife to Othello as well. I like her so far.
