Brabantio is Desdemona's father. He becomes very upset when Desdemona elopes with Othello and accuses Othello of committing witchcraft in order to woo his daughter. Othello denies any wrongdoing and Brabantio warns Othello that if Desdemona deceived her father, she can deceive Othello as well. Brabantio dies from a broken-heart resulting from Desdemona's marriage.
Would have Othello killed Desdemona without all of Iago's lies?
No, almost certainly not. Desdemona was a loving and true wife and would not have given Othello any reason to kill her. And Othello was basically a fair-minded man as the play shows before Iago began to spin his web of deceit. Not only that, but Othello truly loved Desdemona and under normal circumstances would not hurt her. Everyone is shocked when he strikes her in public not only because it is shocking behaviour but also because it is uncharacteristic. Without Iago it is as likely that Othello would kill Desdemona as it is that she would kill him.
What do Iago and Roderigo hope to accomplish by shouting insulting remarks about Othello and Desdemona under Brabantio's window?
They want Desdemona's father, Brabantio, to come out and kill Othello, because they know that Desdemona and Othello are getting illegally wedded. Iago hates Othello and wants him dead because Cassio gave Othello a position in the military that Iago believed he deserved.
