Sažetak
This article focuses on and compares Desdemona’s (Othello) and Eveline’s (Eveline) multiple forms of paralysis–social, economic, mental, spiritual, and even physical–that originate from two sources: their highly traditional and environmentally oppressive societies and their relationships with men. The idea is that a) Desdemona and Eveline, no matter their social differences and time gap, address and reflect the same social constraints, here referred to as paralysis ; b) their bodies are not simply a flesh and blood concept, but rather their medium for and of communication and expression ; c) their embodiment of social paralysis becomes the representation and echo of the whole process.
