Othello (2.1)

"If after every tempest came such calms,/May the winds blow till they have wakened death" (Othello, 2.1.183-184).

I can only imagine what Othello went through out there on the seas during the storm but he handles it well especially around Desdemona. I can definitely see why she is smitten by Othello. He does not even make her worry by telling her what happened more than she had been worried before he arrived. He tries to make it seem like nothing ever happened. To me he is basicly saying he could not have ever asked for a better time to be in his wife's arms.

Could Cassio really be attracted to Desdemona?
