Key points
1. Desdemona drops the handkerchief she is given by Othello accidentally. It was an important present between the two of them. Iago has Emilia steal it and he tells Iago that she gave it to Cassio.
2. Iago has Cassio talk about his lover, Bianca without mentioning her name in front of Othello. Iago continues to goad Othello, convincing him more and more that Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio (a White man from Venice).
3. Othello begins abusing Desdemona in front of her family. She is bewildered by this and denies the affair until Othello smothers her to death in a jealous rage.
4. When Othello finds that Desdemona never lied to him, he commits suicide.
