Desdemona: pure + naive.
"Do not doubt, Cassio, but I will have my Lord and you again a friendly as you were".
Dramatic Irony, falls into Iago's trap.

"Beshrew me, if I would do such a wrong for the whole world". Act 4 / Scene 3.
-
She explains to Emilia that she would never consider being unfaithful, no matter the circumstances. The quote shows that Desdemona is virtuous, she can't even understand why a man would betray their husband.

"I'll watch him tame and talk him out of patience...I'll intermingle everything he does with Cassio's suit".
-
Here we see what Desdemona plans to do in order to keep Cassio reappointed. She says she will almost turn Othello from wild to tame and talk about Cassio till he can't bear it anymore. Here we see Iago's manipulations.
There's a fine line between naive and pure, naturally women are far more empathetic, whilst men may assume Desdemona as a naive woman, many women see Desdemona as a kind, realistic, feminine icon.
