Desdemona blames herself for falling into the trap that was set for her with the handkerchief; this symbol of her love has come back to condemn her, just as all her protestations of her love and devotion for Othello do not soften his resolve to kill her.
Emilia pounces on Othello for committing a horrible crime.
