In Cyprus, Iago intensifies his manipulation, using Desdemona¡¯s kindness toward Cassio to fuel Othello¡¯s jealousy. He plants doubts in Othello¡¯s mind, suggesting an affair between Desdemona and Cassio, and provides false "evidence," including Desdemona¡¯s handkerchief. Othello becomes consumed by jealousy and begins to mistrust everyone around him. As events spiral, Desdemona remains unaware of Othello¡¯s suspicions, while Emilia, Iago¡¯s wife, unknowingly aids his schemes. In the final act, Othello confronts Desdemona in their bedchamber and, believing Iago¡¯s lies, kills her. Emilia reveals the truth too late, and Othello, devastated by guilt, takes his own life. The play ends with Iago exposed but unrepentant, leaving a tragic aftermath of betrayal, manipulation, and lost lives.
