What does cassio do with desdemona's handkerchief?

In Shakespeare's play "Othello," Cassio finds Desdemona's handkerchief, which is a gift from Othello to Desdemona. He uses it to wipe his face after being wounded in a brawl, unknowingly giving it further significance. Later, Iago uses this handkerchief as proof of Desdemona's alleged infidelity to manipulate Othello and incite his jealousy. The handkerchief becomes a crucial symbol of betrayal and misunderstanding in the play.


Why do Othello trust lago?

There are a few different interpretations about why Iago hates Othello so much he is intent on destroying him. The most obvious is explained in the very first scene, where Iago is talking to Roderigo and expresses his anger at how Othello gave the position of lieutenant to Cassio and not Iago which he believes is unjust, since Cassio only knows "bookish theoric." However later in the play one of Iago's soliloquies explains his (likely paranoid) suspicions that Othello had "bedded Emilia," his wife. There are also theories that Iago is actually in love with Othello so is jealous and hates him for marrying Desdemona, but I would think that the first interpretation would be your best bet.

What was Lodovico's reaction to Othello's behavior towards Desdemona and how did Iago later explain of those behavior?

Lodovico was shocked and disturbed by Othello's violent outburst towards Desdemona, perceiving it as a drastic shift from Othello's previously noble demeanor. He expressed disbelief at Othello's actions, suggesting a loss of reason and honor. Later, Iago manipulates the situation by explaining Othello's behavior as the result of Desdemona's supposed infidelity, further sowing distrust and fostering the tragic unfolding of events. Iago's deceitful rationale serves to deepen Lodovico’s concern about Othello’s state of mind and morality.

Why does Iago get Cassio drunk?

Iago wanted Cassio to drink more wine because he wanted Cassio to be drunk and argumentative when Roderigo would approach him later that night. Iago told Montano that Cassio was drunk every night. He wanted to cast doubt on Othello's judgment for appointing Cassio, by implying that Cassio may be drunk during battle. This led to Othello stripping Cassio of his position. Othello thought that Cassio was irresponsible and dishonourable.


Write a mini essay No character in Othello is flawless Discuss some of these flaws and how Iago uses to his advantage?

Well...OK... No character in Othello is perfect- this is true. There are two main instance where weaknesses come into play and are exploited by Iago. Michael Cassio, the mathematician who Iago is gunning to displace the whole time, has a known weakness for alcohol. Othello explicitly instructs him not to drink on his shift, but he does regardless. Iago then exploits this weakness, and soon Cassio threatens violence, and ends up stabbing Montano. Iago, when asked later, pretends he had nothing to do with it. This is ultimately what gets Cassio booted from the lieutenancy. The prime example of Iago's exploitation is, of course, Othello. Othello is willing to jump to conclusions about Desdemona and her scandalous (and ostensibly numerous) love affairs with Cassio and other men. All Iago has to do is plant these ideas in Othello's mind, and Othello goes to them himself. Othello is so caught up in rage that he cannot even see that they have only been in Cyprus a few days. These wild affairs behind his back are not even feasible.
