"Desdemona's lady in waiting, wife of Iago. Loyal to both her husband and her mistress. Shows an attitude toward men far more different from Desdemona."
Emilia to Desdemona
3.4.153-156
"But jealous souls will not be answered so.They are not ever jealous for the cause,But jealous for they’re jealous. It is a monsterBegot upon itself, born on itself."
– The way that Othello is acting is in a jealous manner, showing Emilia and Desdemona that he is infact jealous. The appearance of what use to be is no more but they cannot see the reality of what is going to happen and how upset Othello really is.
Emilia,Desdemona and Iago
4.2.135-142
"A halter pardon him and hell gnaw his bones!Why should he call her “whore”? Who keeps her company?What place? What time? What form? What likelihood?The Moor’s abused by some most villainous knave,Some base notorious knave, some scurvy fellow.O heavens, that such companions thou’dst unfold,And put in every honest hand a whipTo lash the rascals naked through the worldEven from the east to th' west! "
– Emilia is going on about how Desdemona is innocent and how someone has been tricking Othello into believing that she is having an affair. She explains that whoever this person is, he is a low life, bastard and a crook, which should be beat senseless. When in reality the person she is explaining is actually her own husband! Iago, who she is also telling this to.
