“…Within the cultural context of the Renaissance, one might wonder how to live under the crushing presence of patriarchy (Drakakis, 1992;Stone, 1990;Loomba, 1989;Stallybrass, 1982). As a dominant voice, the latter gains the privilege not only to monopolize cultural references and political bodies; also it chooses who can be included in discourse and who must be excluded from it.…”

This paper aims to delve into Desdemona’s mind in Shakespeare’s Othello. In this paper, Desdemona’s utterances are perused through conceptual metaphor analysis. The objective of this study is to disclose Desdemona’s cognitive complexity, and conceptual metaphor analysis offers an opportunity to enter Desdemona’s cognitive world notwithstanding the degradation of her speech. These conceptual metaphors will follow three major axes of scrutiny: body, emotions, and ethics. The findings of this paper demonstrate that a cognitive exploration of the character reveals a structured system of thoughts where corporeal passions, emotional acuity, and ethical choices are culminated in a coherent and dynamic female protagonist. Desdemona’s conceptual metaphors confirm a sensual and wilful persona who broke an ascetic image of femininity associated with conditioning and interdictions. The study aspires to demonstrate how Desdemona would become a haunting presence on stage, triumphant even as all other characters fell, and how she would reach from beyond the grave to hold the audience in the throes of empathy. The intent of the paper is also to point out that conceptual metaphor analysis, with its ties to cognitive poetics, can furnish character criticism with dissimilar readings.

26 Erről a "Shakespeare-ideológiáról" részletesen ír többek között William B. Worthen (Shakespeare and the Authority of Performance, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997, 41-43) és Terence Hawkes, aki érzékletesen szemlélteti a szerepet, amit Shakespeare játszott a mindenkori társadalmi értékformálásban, és a csatáról, amelyet Hazlitt és Coleridge folytatott Shakespeare "birtoklásáért": "Shakespeare's centrality as an instrument of cultural meaning was confirmed by that contest. The creature familiar to us as 'Shakespeare' was to some degree produced by it. Reinforced and transmitted by the educational system, this is a figure we immediately recognize and embrace: liberal, disinterested, allwise, his plays the repository, guarantee and chief distributor next to God of unchanging truth." Terence Hawkes.
