Othello enters whilst
Desdemona is asleep.
Desdemona awakens and
Othello asks her to pray as
he does not want to kill her
soul. She cannot convince
him she is innocent and
suffocates her with a pillow.
Emilia comes in and reports that Cassio has
killed Roderigo. Then Desdemona's voice is
heard from the bed,saying "falsely murdered"
and Emilia calls for help. Desdemona says that
she is innocent, denies that anyone has killed
her. Othello then declares that he has killed
Desdemona because of her infidelity. Emilia
insists that Desdemona was faithful, and calls
her husband a liar.
