Sorry, I do not think she is weak.

Did you ever read "Billy Budd" who was so dumb-founded by the malicious accusations of a superior that he could not speak and so he stuck the man dead. Here we have a case where Desdemona, wanting to be the best of wives, willing it of herself at all times, is beset by a wild accusation that while it may leave her speechless, does not reveal her as weak. Maybe you might want to examine the kinds of strengths that women possess.
