Othello Journal #3

Iago: "Her honor is an essence that's not seen; they have it very oft that have it not. But, for the handkerchief--"
Othello: "By heaven, I would most gladly have forgot it. Thou said'st- Oh, it comes o'er memory as doth the raven o'er the infectous house, boding to all- he had my handkerchief"(165).

In the passage Iago is convincing Othello that Desdemona is unfaithful to him and Cassio is betraying Othello as a friend. This is a turning point because Othello begins to realize everything Iago is hinting and begins to get angry and rash.
