The Third Element In Othello-N

The element of handkerchief in the plot
Becomes its important pivot symbol 
A heritage he got from his mother first
The Desdemona’s virtue sexual.
Losing or giving away meant her fall
Was laced with strawberries’s image design
On a wedding sheet bloodstains recall.
More interpretations one can define.

Iago used it on Desdemona divine
With the help of his wife stealing it
And placing it in Cassio’s confine 
Enough proof for Othello to excite
He kissed her, killed her by smothering her
Then killed himself too lying near his dear.

I'm a huge fan of Shakespeare, Dr. Ram. This is an outstanding Spenserian sonnet. I have come to love all the sonnet forms and thank you for introducing me to this one. Love, Carolyn
