I am hitherto your daughter. But here’s my husband.
And so much duty as my mother showed
To you, preferring you before her father,
So much I challenge that I may profess
Due to the Moor my lord.
What does Desdemona say she has learned from her life and education?
How to respect her father.
How to challenge her father.
How to obey the noble company.
How to profess her duty to her husband.
