recap

The women in Shakespeare's life time were only seen as an object. The basic of the play seems to focus mainly around male as main character, women seem not to be favored.
Its clear that the play Othello view the women Desdemona, Emilia, and Bianca as weak character through their action. the manor in which those women is treated is why the story ends on such a tragic note the tragedy could have been avoided is if only the men would have given them the chance to speak their opinions.
Bianca does not appear in the play as much as the other female characters. her presence is key to the death of Desdemona
The final woman I am going to talk about Bianca
Bianca plays a significant role in the progress
Cassio's asks her to copy the handkerchief he found in his room













Bianca:

She is Cassio's jealous lover.

Bianca's name (meaning "white" in Italia).



















She is in love with Cassio, but he does not return this love and treats her like garbage

Bianca suddenly enters, and her suspicions of Cassio are even greater than before. She is convinced that the handkerchief belongs to another woman, and throws it contemptuously at Cassio's feet. In Othello's eyes, her apparent jealousy confirms his wife's infidelity. This "evidence" all but completes Iago's manufactured case against Desdemona, and thereafter Othello is determined to murder both her and Cassio.
Who would not make her husband a cuckold to make him a monarch? I should venture purgatory for't" (4.3).

"'Tis not a year or two shows us a man: / They are all but stomachs, and we all but food; / They eat us hungerly, and when they are full, / They belch us" (3.4.103-106).

In this scene she expresses her opinion of men by joking
