Emilia lies to Desdemona about the handkerchief to protect her own interests and maintain her loyalty to Iago, who has manipulated her into believing that lying is necessary for his schemes. She may also feel a sense of obligation to uphold the facade of marital fidelity and trust between Desdemona and Othello. Additionally, Emilia's actions reflect the complex dynamics of power and gender in their society, where women's voices and truths are often suppressed. Ultimately, her lie contributes to the tragic unfolding of events in the play.

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.
Would have Othello killed Desdemona without all of Iago's lies?
No, almost certainly not. Desdemona was a loving and true wife and would not have given Othello any reason to kill her. And Othello was basically a fair-minded man as the play shows before Iago began to spin his web of deceit. Not only that, but Othello truly loved Desdemona and under normal circumstances would not hurt her. Everyone is shocked when he strikes her in public not only because it is shocking behaviour but also because it is uncharacteristic. Without Iago it is as likely that Othello would kill Desdemona as it is that she would kill him.

How did Iago's first plan become successful?
Iago's first plan became successful by exploiting Othello's insecurities and manipulating the relationships around him. He planted the seed of doubt in Othello's mind regarding Desdemona's fidelity, using carefully crafted lies and the misplaced handkerchief as evidence. By skillfully manipulating Cassio and Roderigo, and playing on Othello's emotions, Iago was able to create a web of deception that ultimately led Othello to trust him over those he loved. This strategic manipulation showcased Iago's cunning and understanding of human psychology.

What is a summary of Othello?
Othello is a General that lives in Italy(Venice), but is a Moor. Traditionally that means he is black while everyone else is white. He is very respected and marries on of the leading families daughters. Iago is one of his most trusted lieutenants, but after great victories Othello decides to promote someone else. Iago then begins a scheme to get power. First he brings down his other rivals for power. Then he seeks revenge on Othello. To do so he starts scandals almost on a whim and makes everyone distrust one another. Including Othello and his wife. Side note: Othello has epilepsy and no one must know or they will think him weak or possesed. Iago forces Othello to smother his wife and all of his rivals to die, yet in the end He loses his own life in his web of lies. One of the most Ironic things about Othello is Iago the most wicked liar coins the term (I wear my heart upon my sleeve.) Meaning he does not decieve. Iago makes the top ten most evil fictional villains ever.

Why does Othello hit desdemona?
Not because he is mean; he is not at heart a cruel man. But he has been so tortured by jealousy that he is angry with Desdemona all the while he still desperately loves her. The outrage is not only that he hits her (that's bad enough) but he hits her in public. Nobody who knew them in Venice can believe it.
