Entry from Desdemona's Diary

Dear Diary,

            The feeling of being in love is one that is indescribable. I have a very deep love for Othello, so much that I eloped with him without the consent of my father. I promise that I will be obedient to him as my mother is to my father. Some people suspect that Othello used magic to put a spell on me that would make me fall in love him. However, I know that this is completely false. He won me over with his sad stories that he shared with me. Othello has gone through so much. He has been fighting in battles since he was a young boy. I have a lot of sympathy for him. Othello has completely won my heart over. I feel great affection toward him. 

            Despite my allegiance and love to Othello, Roderigo continues to yearn for me. Roderigo asked my father if he could have my hand in marriage. Thankfully, my father does not see Roderigo as being fit for me. This does not matter anymore since I am now married to Othello and want to be with him forever. I can see Othello and me starting a family and growing old together. Othello has become my life.   

            He seems to always be on my mind. He is a very strong, brave, and humble man. He makes me happy, despite what others may think of our love for each other. I know that our love is forever and do not regret eloping with him. I love him a lot and will be loyal and listen to his commands as my mother does to my father. I am looking forward to be able to keep my husband, Othello, company in Cyprus.
