Iago offers the handkerchief as the supposed proof of Desdemona's infidelity.
What was lago's reply when Othello demanded proof of his wife's disloyalty?
He responded "How likely is it that I'll be able to show them to you actually in bed together??" As Iago well knew, this would not only be difficult but actually impossible since Desdemona and Cassio were not really having an affair. But as we know from people who believe in conspiracy theories, and Iago knew then, sometimes you can bamboozle people into believing that the fact that something is difficult to prove is in itself proof. Unfortunately it works on Othello.

What was the secret of the handkerchief?
The secret of the handkerchief in Shakespeare's play "Othello" is that it is planted by Iago in Cassio's possession to manipulate Othello and fuel his jealousy towards Desdemona. Othello believes the handkerchief is proof of Desdemona's infidelity, leading to tragic consequences.
What is the role in the handkerchief in Othello?
It gives Othello the ocular "proof" that he's looking for from Iago ever since his jealousy is sparked. Othello gave it to Desdemona once they began seeing each other and he believes that if she ever lost it that she would no longer be devoted to him. He knocks it out of her hand during an argument, Emilia picks it up and gives it to her husband Iago. He then places it in Cassio's room and he gives it to Bianca who then throws it back at Cassio (saying that she doesn't want the trifles of another woman) while Othello is watching him (just as Iago wanted) and Othello takes this as meaning that Desdemona gave the hankerchief to Cassio, Cassio gave to Bianca, and Bianca gave it back because she didn't want a token that was given to him from another woman.
What is the napkin in Othello?
I wasnt a napkin it was a Hankerchief, Othello gave it to Desdemno as a love gift, it was the first present he ever to gave her. Othello claims it has magical powers (this enhances the sense of unknown to Othello and his slave years and past). Othello get very paraniod as Iago gets his wife to steal it from Desdemno and plants the Hankerchief on an unsuspecting inocent Cassio. Iago then tells Othello that Cassio must be sleeping with Desdemona, Othello refuses these claims although he is insure and asks for "ocular proof" Iago then tells Othello that Cassio has got the Hankerchief. Very briefly, basically its a tool Iago uses to help trigger Othello's jelousy between Desdemona and Cassio.
What did Othello want from Iago at the end?
An explanation. He doesn't get one though.
