Final answer:
Emilia does not know Iago's full plan for the handkerchief in 'Othello' but gives it to him in an attempt to please him.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks whether Emilia is aware of Iago's intentions for the handkerchief and why she gives it to him. In Shakespeare's play Othello, Emilia, Iago's wife, comes into possession of Desdemona's handkerchief, an item that plays a central role in Iago's plot against Othello. Emilia is not fully aware of what Iago plans to do with the handkerchief. She gives it to Iago in an attempt to please him, as he has been asking her to steal it for some time. Her actions are guided by loyalty and the desire to gain her husband's approval, rather than knowledge of his malicious intentions.
