Emilia finally puts two and two together and realizes her own husband is the cause of everyone's tragedy.Īs people pour into the room, Emilia outs Iago for being a rat. Othello is furious to find Cassio still alive. In this moment of confusion, Emilia reports (incorrectly) to Othello that Cassio killed Roderigo. Emilia enters and Iago lies and instructs her to inform Othello and Desdemona about the news. Iago pretends he just stumbled in himself, declares Roderigo to be the assailant, and stabs Roderigo to death. Two Venetian gentlemen run in at the sound of Cassio's screaming. Roderigo tries to stab Cassio, fails, gets stabbed himself Iago sneaks up and stabs Cassio in the leg.
On the other hand, Iago informs Roderigo to kill Cassio between midnight and 1 am tonight if he wants Desdemona. Seeing the handkerchief, Othello gets furious and kills Desdemona that night. When Cassio finds it, he gifts it to a prostitute he likes- Bianca, who returns it as it belonged to some other lady. Othello returns to his suite and Desdemona plays with him lovingly using a “special handkerchief”, later called “the handkerchief of death”.Įmilia steals the handkerchief for Iago who places it in Cassio’s bedroom. Meanwhile, Iago asks Desdemona to convince Othello to give Cassio his job back while also planting seeds of suspicion in Othello’s mind and warns him to keep an eye on Desdemona.

Othello is concretely human, especially masculine, courageous and full of valour. The extreme beauty and pathos of this scene are largely dependent on the domesticity of it. There is a willow-song, whilst Emilia unpins Desdemona's dress. In the exquisite willow-song scene, we see her with her maid, Emilia. We hear of her needlework, her fan, gloves, mask. The 'Othello' world is eminently domestic and 'Desdemona' is expressly feminine. She would bind Othello's head with her handkerchief - that handkerchief which is to become a terrific symbol of Othello's jealousy. This is how she describes her suit to Othello. She is typically feminine in her attempt to help Cassio. We hear that 'the house affairs' drew her often from Othello's narrative. There is a certain domestic femininity about her.
Wilson Knight writes about her: "Desdemona. She suffers throughout the play and dies a terrible death. Her name literally means unfortunate, and that is precisely what she is.
