Roderigo is complaining about the fact that he doesn't have Desdemona as his wife, and that she already had married - as he found out through Iago - a Moor, a 'black' being who, at the time, was considered as uncivilized and under classed. BUT, Othello was not uncivilized, in fact, he was a noble man, who served for Venice and had a high rank in the society.

Roderigo.


What plot do lago and roderigo have for cassio?

Iago does the plotting alone; Roderigo is his dupe and has no more idea how he is being used than Cassio does. In Act II Scene 3 Iago makes sure both are drunk and quarrelsome and then eggs Roderigo on so Cassio will fight with him, thus ensuring Cassio's dismissal. In Act IV Scene 2 Iago lies to Roderigo, telling him that Othello is being sent to Mauretania where Roderigo will never have a chance to see Desdemona. Iago tells him that this is only possible because there is a competent replacement for Othello on hand in Cyprus in the person of Cassio. Get rid of Cassio, and Othello must stay in Cyprus. In this way Iago dupes Roderigo into trying to murder Cassio in Act V.

How does Brabantio attitude toward Roderigo change?

Brabantio is wakened by Iago and Roderigo making a lot of noise in the street. He sees Roderigo, who identifies himself, but does not see Iago, who is making foul-mouthed suggestions like "an old black ram is tupping your white ewe." Roderigo has been courting Desdemona and although Brabantio has turned him out of the house he keeps on hanging around like a stalker. Brabantio doesn't like him already and likes him less for waking him up with scurrilous suggestions. This all changes when Brabantio finds out that his daughter has in fact disappeared. Then he turns to Roderigo for help in finding her, which Roderigo is happy to supply. By the end of the scene, he is "good Roderigo" to Brabantio.
