How might Othello end without the handkerchief scene?or you can say that, what would happen if Desdemona was found innocent?This handkerchief was...

In the play Othello by William
Shakespeare, one symbol, the handkerchief, acts as the "ocular proof" that Othello
demands from Iago before condemning Desdemona.  Othello seeks to "see" a piece of
evidence that would demand he rebukes Desdemona for infidelity.  The handkerchief,
originally his mother's, also serves as the filial connection between mother and son,
thus metaphorically illustrating man's inability to trust women.  If the handkerchief
was never a factor in the play, Othello would never receive the visual proof he was
waiting for to act out his aggression towards Desdemona; however, his characterization,
both direct and indirect, demonstrate to the reader that he would have responded and
reacted in the same way.  His downfall began by listening to the lies that Iago was
creating.  A strong character would have the ability to make his own decisions and
determinations without the wrathful voice of another whispering shortcomings.  Othello,
instead of directly approaching his wife about his insecurities, chooses to wait for
something as small and insignificant as a handkerchief to condemn her to her death.
 While symbolically important because it connects the idea of woman's destruction by the
hands of man, it is relatively unimportant in that Othello would have found some other
way to chastise Desdemona.
