In Shakespeare's "Othello," Othello asks Desdemona about the handkerchief he gave her, which he believes is a symbol of their love. He questions her fidelity and accuses her of infidelity based on the loss of the handkerchief, which has been manipulated by Iago to provoke Othello's jealousy. This inquiry reflects Othello's growing mistrust and insecurity, ultimately leading to tragic consequences in their relationship.
