Objective: SWBAT evaluate how Desdemona’s handkerchief is being used as proof of her affair.

Do-Now: If your husband/wife were cheating on you, would you want to know about it or would you rather not find out?  Is it better to know and be made miserably by knowing or to be ignorant and made happy by not knowing?  Explain.
