Answer 1

Juliet and Desdemona

Step-by-step explanation:

Both Juliet and Desdemona are a strong, beautiful character in two of the famous plays of Shakespeare. In Romeo and Juliet, the lead lady, Juliet, is in love with Romeo, and with her dishonest love for Romeo leads both the hero and heroine to meet their tragic deaths. In Othello, Desdemona is portrayed as a meek and submissive wife to Othello. Her simplicity of attitude turns out to be a cause of her husband's jealousy and she becomes a victim of the tragic play. In Juliet, we find a young lover badly infatuated with Romeo and married him in haste. In Desdemona, we see a pure lady is outraged just because she is little careless who fails to understand the possessive nature of her husband.
