Cite the textual evidence, which shows what the first thing Othello asks Desdemona if she did that night. Infer why he did this.

Desdemona awakens, and he tells her to repent of any sins before she dies; she believes there is nothing she can do to stop him from killing her, but continues to assert her innocence. Othello tells her that he found her handkerchief with Cassio, though Desdemona insists it must not be true; she pleads with Othello not to kill her, but he begins to smother her. Othello pretty much accuses her of adultry and to confess before she dies.
