The Complex Relationship of Desdemona and Emilia

I find this clip quite instructive about the relationship between Desdemona and Emilia.  Neither lady is minor as far as their import in the play is concerned.  While Emilia's deed, that is, giving Desdemona's fallen handkerchief to Iago, calls into question the bond between the two of them, I would argue that they are as close as any two people can be.  But as with everyone else, theirs is an imperfect relationship.  There is an inevitable flaw, regardless of how good any relationship is.  An inevitable shortfall in understanding between people is part of it all.  The major thing that ignites such an imperfection is this:  As Desdemona becomes increasingly embroiled in the disintegration of her marriage, Emilia has to navigate the vicissitudes of her own marriage to Iago.  Emilia must take part of the blame for the horrible death of Desdemona, which clearly pains her at the end, but ironically, I think, the two women are as close and as similar as ever by virtue of being women who must fend for themselves in a male-dominated, male-abusing circle.
