Othello
In Shakespeare's "Othello," the handkerchief symbolizes love, fidelity, and the trust between Othello and Desdemona. Given to Desdemona by Othello as a token of his love, its loss and misinterpretation become pivotal in the plot. Iago uses the handkerchief to manipulate Othello into believing Desdemona has been unfaithful, ultimately leading to tragedy. Thus, the handkerchief represents both the fragility of trust and the destructive power of jealousy.
Titus Andronicus (1593) was the FIRST tragedy Shakespeare wrote. His last tragedy was Timon of Athens.
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.
