I have questions about this title. Is there a reason why it can't just be at Desdemona? Or maybe Desdemona (Othello)? -- Zoe

That might be a better name (sorry I am sort of new and not used to the naming conventions). I did a link to Desdemona at first but its a page about a moon of Jupiter or something. Karl

Renamed Desdemona of Othello to Desdemona (Othello) and renamed Desdemona to Desdemona (moon), with Desdemona now being a disambiguation page between the moon and the fictional character. -- Curps

Is this name related to the Greek, deisidaemonia? Interesting. -a

[edit] Literary criticism

This page is rife with it. No editor has attempted to defend any of the claims -- what Des represents, etc. Omphaloscope » talk 00:04, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Structure

Could this page be based around the events of the play in order? eg. Desdemona marries Othello secretly, stands up to her father, befriends Emilia, talks to Cassio... I was thinking that this might make it easier to expand on. - raptor 07:33, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
