Emilia

How Honesty relates to Emilia…
  • She admitted the truth to Othello about the hankerchief and her husband, Iago’s actions
  • Her stealing the hankerchief and not admitting it sooner, was what seald Desdemona and Othello’s fate and helped Iago’s plan fall into place.
 
This photo is of Desdemona, Othello and Emilia. Desdemona drops her handkerchief and is then found by Emilia who brings it to her husband Iago. This completes Iago's plan to ruin Othello.

Emilia to Othello

“O thou dull Moor, that handkercheif thou speak’st of i found by fortune and did give to my husband, for often, with a solemn earnestness- more than indeed belong’d to such a triffle- he begg’d of me to steal it”

Othello V.ii.223-227
