Why were prostitutes used in shakespear's plays like Bianca in Othello?

We are acting out the play Othello, and my character is Bianca, I have to do a project to find out why Shakespear used prostitutes in his plays...like Bianca.

Check out a few definitions of "courtesan," which is a far better description of Bianca's profession than "prostitute." I'm not trying to imply that sex wasn't part of the deal, but I always had the sense that there was much more of a domestic component to the Bianca/Casio relationship than that. As much as Casio tries to downplay the seriousness of the relationship, he seems genuinely taken with Bianca, and only derides her at Iago's urging.

Hmm. If your teacher is a liberal, she probably wants you to say something like, "Shakespeare, as a white male, took advantage of women and overly sexualized them in his narratives, thus making prostitutes a natural choice."
they added "color" to the storyline of the plays
