I thought my husband was true. But his words and secrets betray me. I betrayed myself by pleasing his wishes of obtaining the handkerchief. “What will you do with ‘t”(3.3.360) I ask. He dost not answer. I do not trust him. He smiles to all the people but I sense darkness and lies. Do my actions match my promises? I swore loyalty to Desdemona yet I give her beloved token, “her first remembrance from the Moor” (3.3.335), to my husband who I feel plans to do something horrible using it. There are the times when words do not match actions. My innocent “Desdemon” (5.2.28), an “angel” (5.2.159), loyal to a fault has done nothing but my “pernicious” (5.2.190) husband, whispers “wicked” (5.2.217) lies. “I smell ‘t!” (5.2.229). Actions versus words. His actions betray his words. His word betray her actions. What about me? Do I practice what I preach?
