towards the end. Cause they started from the bottom, now they there! Cha-Cha!
She asked him to tell her his life story and he did.
Brabantio is Desdemona's father who strongly opposed Othello's eloping with her. When the Senate finds that their marriage is legit, he is very unhappy. He dies of a broken heart.
Not because he is mean; he is not at heart a cruel man. But he has been so tortured by jealousy that he is angry with Desdemona all the while he still desperately loves her. The outrage is not only that he hits her (that's bad enough) but he hits her in public. Nobody who knew them in Venice can believe it.
Othello is a General that lives in Italy(Venice), but is a Moor. Traditionally that means he is black while everyone else is white. He is very respected and marries on of the leading families daughters. Iago is one of his most trusted lieutenants, but after great victories Othello decides to promote someone else. Iago then begins a scheme to get power. First he brings down his other rivals for power. Then he seeks revenge on Othello. To do so he starts scandals almost on a whim and makes everyone distrust one another. Including Othello and his wife. Side note: Othello has epilepsy and no one must know or they will think him weak or possesed. Iago forces Othello to smother his wife and all of his rivals to die, yet in the end He loses his own life in his web of lies. One of the most Ironic things about Othello is Iago the most wicked liar coins the term (I wear my heart upon my sleeve.) Meaning he does not decieve. Iago makes the top ten most evil fictional villains ever.
By suggesting it as a possibility, then discounting it. He thus forced Othello to push for some evidence proving it. By using the con artist's technique of the stall, together with his reputation of honesty, Iago makes Othello think that Iago could not have made the suggestion unless there was some reason for it, and the more Iago denies that there is such a reason, the more Othello believes it.
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.

More than anything, his humility. Humility is a good quality, but Iago makes Othello's lack of pride work against him. When it comes to fighting in a battle or dealing with a load of hoodlums in the street, Othello is all confidence: he knows how to deal with those things and he knows he knows it. However, in matters of love, he is not so sure. He has reached middle age without really having to deal with women. His relationship with Desdemona starts off with him telling her stories of his life. He isn't trying to woo her, to pick her up or in any way get her to love him. But she does love him. Othello is amazed that she should fall for someone who is old, who is not of her class, who is a foreigner and has an unpopular skin colour. Why should this wonderful young woman pick him of all people? We can see through Desdemona's eyes past these superficial qualities to the qualities of the man within. Othello is competent, commanding and very human. His very humility makes him a good commander and leader. It also makes him doubt whether a woman like Desdemona could love someone like him, a doubt which Iago exploits and turns to the certainty that she must love someone who appears to be more deserving--someone like Cassio. In Othello more than any Shakespeare play we see the pointlessness of the "tragic flaw" type of analysis, which tries to make the plays into parables designed to convey trite bits of morality. The characteristic which leads to Othello's demise is a virtue, but as those compassionate and generous souls who have been conned by phoney charities know, even virtues can be exploited by the wicked. Both Othello and Desdemona are very good people, and yet their doom overtakes them anyway, and in part because they are so good. That's what makes it so heart-wrenching.
Acceptable, but a better sentence would be: This story describes the change of Alan's feelings towards Mary vividly.
Absolutely. Othello is possibly the most heart-rending of Shakespeare's tragedies, since a totally innocent woman ends up getting murdered by the man who loves her the most.
