The Handkerchief

I want Desdemona's blood. She has betrayed me for the last time. The other day, Desdemona and I were discussing about Cassio. The things he did I can never repay him for. Emilia thinks I should let him be lieutenant, but I disagree. Now Desdemona wants me to reinstate Cassio. Then Iago spoke to me. He tells me that Cassio and Desdemona have been together. I don't want to believe him. I'm losing my mind. Iago won't tell me anything, and I don't want to believe his stories without proof. He tells me that Cassio was shouting out Desdemona's name in his sleep. Iago also states that he has seen Cassio with Desdemona's handkerchief. I then realized that Desdemona must be punished for betraying me like this. With all of this information, I decided to promote Iago to my lieutenant position. When I saw Desdemona again, I asked her for the handkerchief. She doesn't have so I tell her the history of it. It was from my mother when she got it from Egyptian sorcerers that said it would keep a man or woman loyal. When I demand for the handkerchief, she retreats to find Othello. I can't keep living this way.
