Explanation:
In Shakespeare’s Othello, Desdemona dies by suffocation at the hands of her husband, Othello. Othello is convinced by the manipulations of his ensign, Iago, that Desdemona has been unfaithful to him, and he strangles her in a fit of jealous rage. Desdemona’s death is a tragic moment in the play, as she is portrayed as a virtuous and innocent victim of the manipulations of those around her.
