Detailed explanation-1: -Who is Jealous? Othello is driven to madness by the insinuations that his wife is cheating on him with this lieutenant, Cassio.
Detailed explanation-2: -Othello is driven to torment Desdemona. He treats her like a whore because he believes she’s cuckolded him with his own officer. He could stand anything but the loss of her love, and so having convinced himself that he has lost it, he can’t listen to Desdemona’s plea of innocence.
Detailed explanation-3: -Though she maintains to the end that she is “guiltless, ” Desdemona also forgives her husband (V. ii. 133 ). Her forgiveness of Othello may help the audience to forgive him as well.
