--Cassio is talking Desdemona up because he thinks by doing so, she'll talk to Othello and get his job back.
--Iago finally tells Othello that Desdemona is cheating on him with Cassio. Othello's brain is wracked by this new information. He can't stop thinking about it and it literally makes him go insane.
--Iago says, "Beware, my lord, of jealousy: It is the green-eyed monster." He means that jealousy is like a monster that will destroy your soul. This is irnoic because Iago is the one who's jealous of Othello's position.
--Emilia finds Desdemona's handkerchief and steals it for Iago. She may do this because she hopes he will then show her the same affection Othello shows Desdemona.
--Iago plans to plant the handkerchief in Cassio's bedroom.
--Iago gives Othello two pieces of "proof" that Desdemona is cheating on him. He says Cassio has been talking in his sleep of Desdemona. He also says he saw Cassio wipe his beard with Desdemona's handkerchief.
--Othello asks Desdemona where his handkerchief is. She cannot find it, because Emilia stole it. Othello is so upset she can't show him the handkerchief because now he believes Iago is telling the truth.
--Iago agrees to kill Cassio.
--Othello plans on killing Desdemona.
--Cassio gives the handkerchief to Bianca, because he may want to show her a token of affection. He also wants her to copy the embroidery on the handkerchief because he likes it.
