Imprisonment and Isolation related to Desire

Although Lefty tries to assuage his loneliness and sexual desires by sleeping with prostitutes in Bursa, he finds that the only escape is succumbing to his desire for Desdemona, who dispels his feelings of isolation.


Desdemona, who feels isolated in her situation as an orphan at the top of a mountain in a small village, views Lefty as the only person who truly understands her and who will always be there for her because of their strong bond. She overcomes the imprisonment of social restrictions and allows herself to love her brother, finding happiness and company.
