Why did Bianca have the handkerchief at the end of Act 3?

At the end of Act 3 in Shakespeare's "Othello," Bianca possesses the handkerchief because Cassio, whom she is romantically involved with, has given it to her. He found it in his chambers, not realizing its significance as Othello's gift to Desdemona. Bianca's appearance with the handkerchief inadvertently complicates the plot, as it heightens Othello's suspicion of Desdemona's fidelity. This moment is crucial as it further fuels Othello's jealousy and sets the stage for the ensuing tragedy.

Circumstances set for Othello by Iago combine to defeat Othello?

Iago sets out to trap Othello by several means. He persuades Desdemona to plead for Cassio and persuades Othello that Desdemona pleading for Cassio proves she is in love with him. He steals the handkerchief, persuades Othello that she has given it away to Cassio, then gives it to Cassio himself. He gets lucky as Cassio gives it to Bianca and she returns it in Othello's sight. He talks to Cassio about Bianca, telling Othello who can see (but not hear) that he is talking about Desdemona. All of this circumstantial evidence bolsters the outright lies that Iago tells about Cassio admitting to having an affair with Desdemona.


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.
