Her comments to Desdemona reflect the themes of jealousy leading to destruction because she addresses how jealousy affects men and how men treat women, etc. Emilia is clearly bitter because of her dysfunctional relationship with Iago and because she has begun to see Othello's temper and his jealous side, as well. Her comments also provide elements of foreshadowing, because Othello lets his jealousy get the best of him. His jealousy drives him into a rage, which causes him to smother Desdemona, someone he loves more than life itself. He realizes, in the end, that he has made a huge mistake and that Desdemona was true to him.
