Desperate to be in great terms with Othello, Cassio ordered for musicians to entertain Othello by playing underneath his window. Othello did not find this entertaining though, but rather obnoxious and made his servant shoo them away. While he did this, Cassio begged the servant to get Emilia to agree to speak to him. All Cassio wanted was access to Desdemona and so, made a plan with Iago: when the servant left, Iago would appeare and promise Cassio that Emilia would come down and they would think of a way to distract Othello. This enables Cassio to be alone with Desdemona.
Emilia proclaims to Cassio that Othello and Desdemona have already talked about the situation, and though Desdemona strongy asked for Cassio, Othello worried that the influence and popularity Montano had in Cyprus would have made Cassio?s reassignment pointless. But Cassio was let in and waited for Desdemona.
While walking to the citadel with Iago, Othello gave him a few letters do deliver.
After Desdemona swore to do all that is possible for Cassio, Othello and Iago emerge and Cassio left, telling Desdemona he does not feel right doing himself any good. The two men Othello and Iago did not believe that Cassio would act like a coward by leaving their presence.
All Desdemona wanted was Othello to forgive Cassio and make him lieutenant again, so he promised to speak to Cassio but got frustrated when she wanted to appoint a specific meeting time and asked for some alone time.
Iago believed that Cassio and Desdemona had an affair, and questions Othello, reminding him that he was Othello and Desdemona's go-to person during their courtship. Talking with Iago made Othello think thoughts of adultery that he would have never thought of before, and was reminded by Iago that he should keep an eye on his wife when it comes to Cassio. Othello asked Iago to make sure Emilia watches Desdemona?s every move, but Iago said he might as well forget about the issue. Othello was stuck on the fact that his wife might not love him anymore, possibly because he is too old, too dark and not polite enough.
When Desdemona and Emilia called Othello to dinner, he insisted that he had a headache and pushed his wife's handkerchief away when she offered it to him in hospitality. Emilia waited behind to pick up Desdemona's handkerchief, as it was something her husband had always desired.
Iago went to put the handkerchief in Cassio's room, to frame him, but at that moment Othello raged at him, telling him that what he has told Othello has torn him up. Othello wouldn't believe Iago until he brought him visual evidence and even though Iago said that would be impossible he said he would. Iago made up a story that when he was sharing a bed with Cassio, he cried "Desdemona" and kissed Iago's lips in his sleep. Iago also claimed he saw Cassio wipe his face with the exact handkerchief that Othello gave to Desdemona. Knowing this, Othello was enraged and Iago vowed to help him get revenge. Othello promoted Iago to lieutenant, as he felt closer to him.
The servant was sent to find Cassio for Desdemona and while he is gone, she wondered where her handkerchief was. Othello entered and checked Desdemona's hand for moistness indicating sexual promiscuity, and then asked where her handkerchief was. When Desdemona could not produce this, Othello told her the history of the handkerchief and focused on how if the woman lost it, the man should leave her. Being shook by this story, Desdemona lied saying she still had it but it was not with her and Othello does not buy it. Othello raised his voice and demanded to know where it was, but Desdemona was frightened and asked for Cassio to change the subject.
After talking to Emilia about the uncertainty of men, Cassio and Iago showed up speaking about Cassio's suit to Desdemona for help. Desdemona was sure that was bad timing of them but Iago promised to go calm down Othello. Though Emilia thought Othello was jealous, Desdemona told herself he was only upset over a political issue and asked the others to wait while she fetched Othello.
When Cassio was waiting for Desdemona to return with Othello, a well-known prostitute, Biana walked in. She scolded him for not visiting her more often and when he apologized he asked her to copy a pattern of a handkerchief he had found in his pocket, onto another one. Bianca thought he was making her do favors for other women, but Cassio denies it and they made plans for that night.
