In III, iv, 49–98, Emilia knows of Desdemona’s distress over the lost handkerchief. At this moment, how do you explain her failure to relieve Desdemona’s mind? Is Emilia aware of her husband’s villainy?

What will be an ideal response?



  • She is unaware of Iago’s real villainy, as is shown, once again, by her shock and horror when she learns that he has been the agent of Desdemona’s ruin. While she may be bold enough to exchange insulting banter with him, she is probably hesitant to go against him over something that is obviously very important to him. She has no idea why he wants the handkerchief, but it certainly never occurs to her that he intends to use it to destroy Othello and Desdemona.
