In Shakespeare's "Othello," the protagonist assumes that his wife, Desdemona, has been unfaithful to him with Cassio, largely due to the manipulations of Iago. This assumption is fueled by Iago's deceitful insinuations and the misinterpretation of the handkerchief, a token of love that he mistakenly believes to be evidence of infidelity. Othello’s misguided trust in Iago leads him to a tragic downfall, as he becomes consumed by jealousy and rage. Ultimately, his assumptions drive the play's central conflict and contribute to the tragic outcome.
