Iago completely dupes and manipulates Emilia. Emilia recognizes that Iago has an edge to him when he verbally jousts with Desdemona about womanhood and the relations between the sexes, but she is just out to satisfy her husband so she buys whatever Iago is selling. She would not suspect Iago as being the puppet master behind Cassio's falling out of favor with the Moor. Emilia is not part of Iago's plot, she just enters into the play at crucial moments and is just as surprised, shocked, and betrayed as everyone at the end of the play to learn of her husband's brutal manipulationsCheck out Emila's character analysis below for more evidence of her willingness to please her husband.
