Desdemona
[to Iago]
Original-
“I am not merry, but i do beguile the thing I am seeming otherwise.
Come, how wouldst thou praise me?”
Modern-
“I am not as happy as I seem. I'm just trying to show how not
worried I am for Othello's safety. Come on, what would you say about
me?”
Desdemona is worried about Othello's safety because everyone wants him dead because he married her. Even though there is no direct racism in the quote in particular she is showing she is worried about her dark skinned lover.
