Othello - Episode 5 - False As Hell

Iago manipulates reality, tricking Othello into believing that he’s seen proof of Desdemona’s unfaithfulness, when in truth Iago planted the fateful handkerchief in Cassio’s room and made it appear that Cassio’s delight in the prostitute Bianca’s love for him is really about Desdemona. Othello’s rage at Desdemona spills over in public as Lodovico arrives in Cypress. Later, Othello confronts his wife in their bedroom and refuses to believe that she is innocent despite her heartfelt pleas.
