Guess there's no going back now..

Emilia, Iago's wife, was begged by Iago to steal Desdemona's scarf.  She didn't know why he wanted it so bad, but she stole it anyway just to make her husband happy.  While she was stealing it she said this, "This was her first remembrance from the Moor, my wayward husband hath a hundred times wooed me to steal it, but she so loves the token. . ."  Iago continues to brainwash Othello by telling him a very peculiar story.  Iago claims that he slept over Cassio's house in his bed with him the other night and Cassio was having a dream about Desdemona.  Iago tells Othello that while Cassio and him were sharing a bed, Cassio called out Desdemona’s name in his sleep, wrung Iago’s hand, kissed him hard on the lips, and threw his leg over his’s thigh.  Then Iago tells Othello that he found the handkercheif in Cassio's room and Cassio wiped his beard with it.  Othello is so outraged that he makes a blood brother's swear with Iago.  They plan to kill Cassio in 3 days but Iago wants to make sure Desdemona lives.
