In the movie there was one particular interpretation that differed greatly from the play’s storyline. In class we mentioned Othello saying, “The purchase made, the fruits are to ensue. The profit’s yet to come ‘tween me and you.” (II.iii.8-10) and we attributed this to Desdemona and Othello not yet consummating their marriage. Being that the purchase is the wedding and the fruits are the sex. However, it seems as if the movie director took a different direction when regarding this quote. In the movie it is obvious they are having sex after he says these lines, so the “purchase” could be Desdemona’s virginity and “the fruits” could mean enjoyable sex in contrast to their messy and painful consummation. I think this is a positive change/direction, because it continues the happiness and love we see between Othello and Desdemona in Act I and gives the audience more enjoyable scenes before we get to Iago’s trickery in the remainder of the play. Furthermore, this defies the theory we brought up in class that Desdemona and Othello don’t feel affection for each other. We stated that they married awkwardly, neither of them knowing much about their partner. Desdemona only knows the stories Othello told her father and Othello only knows that Desdemona likes him because of these stories. However now that we can consider the intimacy between Desdemona and Othello there is a possibility there was more then just listening to stories prior to their marriage. It does sound quite crazy to consider two humans getting married just because they like the idea of each other. Desdemona likes Othello’s attributes and Othello likes the thoughts Desdemona carries for him (when contrasted with the thoughts others have of him: moor, black, wizard).
