Mia Wasikowska as Desdemona
I believe that Mia Wasikowska would play the role of Desdemona well in the play, Shakespeare's 'Othello'.
Mia has had a lot of experience working alongside the biggest name in the film industry such as Johnny Depp and Anne Hathaway when playing the lead role of Alice in the film Alice in Wonderland. The role that Mia played as Alice, a character with naïve perception of the world and others, (similar to Desdemona) relates well to the role of Desdemona as the character of Desdemona is very naïve of how people can act and be manipulated to do, as she is completely lost when Othello becomes angry.
Mia has a young, innocent look about her which is perfect for the role of Desdemona as she continues to be obedient to Othello throughout the play because she believes that the man she married would never harm her. Mia's pale complexion and fair hair would help to reinforce to the audience the differences between Desdemona and Othello in the play, making Desdemona seem even more naïve, therefore making the audience feel even more sympathy towards her and more resentment towards Othello.
