How does Shakespeare use Desdemona's handkerchief dramatically and symbolically?
Dramatically, the handkerchief is a MacGuffin; it is an object which keeps the plot going because of the pursuit of it. Iago gets possession of it then implants the suggestion in Othello's mind that Desdemona has given it away. Othello's pursuit of it becomes his pursuit of evidence to prove adultery. In the end it also is the object which unmasks Iago and brings about the horrible realization of the truth in Othello. The handkerchief symbolizes Othello and Desdemona's love and wedded bliss. He gave it to Desdemona as he gave her his love and asked her to be his wife. Later Iago makes him believe that she has given the handkerchief to Cassio, symbolizing her giving her love and her body sexually to Cassio, which should have been between her and Othello. Finally it is revealed that the handkerchief was stolen, symbolizing that Iago has stolen Othello's love for Desdemona and replaced it with hate, and has stolen their marital happiness from them.
