Alone in her room, Desdemona is full of doubt. Repudiated, she is not aware of Iago's evil scheme. She remembers an old song about a weeping willow tree she learned when she was a child, then sings an Ave Maria before going to sleep.

Otello sneaks into Desdemona’s room. After accusing her of being unfaithful once more, he strangles her in her bed. Learning of Iago’s plot after it is too late - Iago manages to escape - Otello stabs himself and lies down to die next to Desdemona after kissing her one last time.
