When does Othello first begin to doubt Desdemona?
We hear about Desdemona in the first scene when Iago tells Brabantio that she has eloped with Othello. She makes her first entrance in Act 1 Scene 3 and her first line is "My lord, I do perceive here a divided duty."
What proof does Othello want?
Iago brings Othello his handkerchief that Othello has given Desdemona and tells him it was in Cassio's house.
What finally convinces Othello that Cassio and Desdemona are having an affair?
When Iago tells Othello Cassio slept with her.
Why is Brabantios suit against Othello balked?
Brabantio did not want Othello for a son-in-law. Despite his appearance of being nice to Othello, Brabantio is a racist man. He accused Othello of "witchcraft" and stealing his daughter because he cannot understand why Desdemona could possibly love a black man.Furthermore, at the beginning of the play, he tells Roderigo to go away because "My daughter is not for thee". However, when he learns that Desdemona had indeed eloped, he wishes that it was Roderigo who had married Desdemona instead.
How does Iago get back in Othello's good graces?
Iago tells Cassio that he must persuade Othello to reinstate him. He says "the general's wife is now our general" and so the best way to persuade Othello is to get Desdemona to plead on Cassio's behalf. Since Iago has also told Othello that Desdemona and Cassio are having an affair, the harder Desdemona pleads, the worse it is going to look for both her and Cassio.

What does lago say must happen to Desdemona?
She says that she will eventually get bored of Othello because he is much older then her so she will want youth.
Circumstances set for Othello by Iago combine to defeat Othello?
Iago sets out to trap Othello by several means. He persuades Desdemona to plead for Cassio and persuades Othello that Desdemona pleading for Cassio proves she is in love with him. He steals the handkerchief, persuades Othello that she has given it away to Cassio, then gives it to Cassio himself. He gets lucky as Cassio gives it to Bianca and she returns it in Othello's sight. He talks to Cassio about Bianca, telling Othello who can see (but not hear) that he is talking about Desdemona. All of this circumstantial evidence bolsters the outright lies that Iago tells about Cassio admitting to having an affair with Desdemona.
How does iago manipulate cassio after the lieutenant's humiliating dismissal?
He tells him that the best way for him to get his place back is to get Desdemona to plead with Othello, which would probably be good advice if Iago had not at the same time suggested to Othello that Desdemona was having an affair with Cassio. Because of Iago's suggestion, Desdemona's concern for Cassio looks like confirmation of her having an affair with him.
How did Othello get desdemona to be his wife?
Othello got Desdemona to be his wife through what is assumed to be witchcraft, to which he admits in Act 3 Scene 4 of the play. He used a charmed handkerchief which he gave Desdemona as his first gift to her.
What is the napkin in Othello?
I wasnt a napkin it was a Hankerchief, Othello gave it to Desdemno as a love gift, it was the first present he ever to gave her. Othello claims it has magical powers (this enhances the sense of unknown to Othello and his slave years and past). Othello get very paraniod as Iago gets his wife to steal it from Desdemno and plants the Hankerchief on an unsuspecting inocent Cassio. Iago then tells Othello that Cassio must be sleeping with Desdemona, Othello refuses these claims although he is insure and asks for "ocular proof" Iago then tells Othello that Cassio has got the Hankerchief. Very briefly, basically its a tool Iago uses to help trigger Othello's jelousy between Desdemona and Cassio.
