Act 5 Scene 2 is all about the consequences resulting from Iago's implementation of the seeds of doubt on Othello. Iago, a wise schemer decided to twist and turn Othello's logic in order to create a feud against Dedemona, and Cassio. The handkerchief which seemed to be a very important object symbolizes, the trust and love that Othello had for Desdemona. However, upon losing this item, Othello realized that maybe he didn't mean enough to Desdemona, proving Iago's point of infidelity. The unstable mind of Othello gave in, into the lies of Iago and did the most horrific thing killing Desdemona. He though that everything was elucidated, by the actions of Desdemona, and the relationship between her and Cassio, that he took drastic measures in killing his wife. It was as if he was killing that doubt that was tormenting the very core of his mind. Throughout this part of the book, Othello soon realizes that Iago was planning this thing from the very beginning. All those feuds, the hate, everything was established by this one person. After discovering the truth, Othello kills himself because he felt that it was the only his unjust and unethical actions could be solved. He believed that his murder could only be solved, by taking his own life.

Act 5 Scene two was the effect of Iago's Mind games by posing these thoughts of trust within the relationship of Othello and Desdemona which the key thing here wasn't the reasoning, but the handkerchief. The Handkerchief symbolized the love and trust Othello had for Desdemona, and when she lost it, Othello felt that she never really loved him and can actually just throw away their love like that. He also saw Cassio with his handkerchief so it instilled more doubt into him. He kills Desdemona because of these reasons and after Emilia telling Othello what had happen with the handkerchief, he killed himself because he felt that he could only repay Desdemona by killing himself.
