The Morally Superior Woman in Ibsen's A Doll's House and Shakespeare's Othello . Nora and Emilia are both intelligent women who make choices on a basis of moral reasoning. They are loyal to their husbands as a choice, not as a passive obedience. Each woman undergoes a dramatic change when their husbands are suddenly revealed to be immoral men, and as a result, both women choose to reject their husbands for failing to have trustworthy characters. The decision to reject the husband ends very differently for each woman - Nora leaves her relationship; however, Emilia is killed for condemning Iago's immoral character. 3 pgs.
