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).
I think this passage is really important because this is where Iago is planting the seed in Othello's head that Desdemona is not faithful to him. And when he is convincing Othello he never actually says it straight forward, he just acts as if he doesn't want to say it (even though it is a lie) and this make Othello freak out and get angry. He believes Iago/ This is when you can tell that things are going to get worse...
