Othello act 4

This week in class we discussed the end of Act III and Act IV. Towards the end of Act III we begin to see Othello's suspicion of Desdemona's purported infidelity rise when she is unable to procure his mothers handkerchief. He then goes on the describe the story behind and the handkerchief and what it symbolizes. In the next Act we see the extent of Iago's manipulation with his persistent insinuations of Desdemona's unfaithfulness; this brings Othello over the edge and later decides he wants to murder Cassio. AS the story progresses Othello finally accuses Desdemona of her adultery even though she is adamantly denying all accusations. Later, Desdemona seems to be aware of her fate and accepts her death at the hands of her husband. I did not finish the play and I am not enjoying it. I don't really like the language and the whole story seems ridiculous to me. The idea that she will simply accept her death is just weird.
