How did lago trick Othello into thinking cassio was bragging and gloating about his affair with Desdemona?

Othello was just out of earshot when Iago talks to Cassio. He has told Othello that he is talking to Cassio about Desdemona but he is really talking about the woman that Cassio is really having an affair with, Bianca.


How does Bianca's return with the handkerchief help Iago?

She confirms without any prompting, that Cassio gave the handkerchief to her, thus corroborating Iago's accusation that Desdemona gave it to Cassio


How is iago able to prove that cassio had Desdemona's handkerchief?

They overhear a conversation between Cassio and Bianca in which Bianca produces the handkerchief and demands to know why Cassio is giving her another woman's handkerchief. This proves that Cassio had the handkerchief and gave it away.


How does Iago cast aside suspicion of his own part in the plot to kill Cassio?

Othello was just out of earshot when Iago talks to Cassio. He has told Othello that he is talking to Cassio about Desdemona but he is really talking about the woman that Cassio is really having an affair with, Bianca. In 'Othello' Iago tricks Othello by planting Desdemona's handkerchief in Cassio's room.


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.
