Detailed commentary and analysis by Claire's Notes of Act III, scene iv, ll1-100 of Othello by William Shakespeare
Desdemona is blissfully unaware that Iago has poisoned Othello’s mind against her and that he is now convinced that she is having an affair with Cassio. After engaging in a bit of banter involving wordplay on the theme of deception with Othello’s clown, she then sends him off in search of Cassio. She reveals to Emilia that the loss of her handkerchief is extremely worrying but fortunately, Othello is not of the jealous type.
Othello enters and the two have a distinctly uncomfortable interaction as he makes a number of cryptic comments, which go over Desdemona's head, that allude to her own deception. He then reveals that the handkerchief has mystical properties and that, should she lose it, it would signal the end of their marriage. As Othello tries to pin Desdemona down as to the whereabouts of the handkerchief and the discussion gets more and more heated, will Emilia step in to tell what she knows...?
