They draw a picture, using the filthiest language possible, of his daughter making love to Othello. They neglect to mention that he has married her first (although that would not be much consolation as Brabantio was not consulted in the matter).

Iago searches and destroys Cyprus on a mission to secure sweet justice to surely assure himself as the dominant male.

Who said Thou art a villain You are-a senator?

In Shakespeare's "Othello" Brabantio: Thou art a villain. Iago: You are a senator. Brabantio insults Iago and Iago makes a joking insult back.


How old is Iago?

Iago had his twelfth birthday on January 12th, 2011. To celebrate, he visited Hooters with Brabantio.


Who is brabantio and why does iago and roderigo awaken him in the middle of the night?

Brabantio is Desdemona's father. Iago and Roderigo wake him to tell him that Desdemona is running off with Othello. Using filthy and racist language, Iago hopes to anger Brabantio against Othello, which he does.


In othello why does iago sneak off so quickly after talking to brabantio?

Iago needs to uphold his reputation as "honest Iago" - as such, he cannot be seen creating a disturbance outside Brabantio's house, who happens to be a member of the Senate. Venice prided itself in being civilised so a public disturbance such as the one created by Iago and Roderigo would have been frowned upon and very damaging to Iago's image.


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.

Why did iago leave roderigo at brabantio house?

Iago leaves Roderigo at Brabantio house because he was to appear a faithful friend to Othello, and it would not be good of him to be seen informing of his actions

What is the relationship between Iago and Roderigo?

Iago gets him to identify himself as the hooligan shouting in the street to Brabantio. It is of course Iago who is guilty of the most crude and vile comments, but Roderigo is is 'fool' and takes the blame.


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.

Which characters in Othello make an issue of Othellos race?

Iago, Brabantio and Roderigo. Nobody else seems to care. And probably Brabantio is the most intolerant--he will have Othello over to supper but he wouldn't want him to marry his daughter. Roderigo wouldn't care except that they are rivals for Desdemona and Roderigo will throw any dirt that might possibly stick at Othello. Iago's position is mysterious, but whatever his motive for disliking Othello (and who knows, race might be a part of that), he is sure prepared to make an issue of Othello's race around the racist Brabantio.


What are the characters of the play Othello?

Othello, a Moorish captain in the service of Venice Iago, his ensign Desdemona, his wife Cassio, his lieutenant Brabantio, father of Desdemona Emilia, wife of Iago The Duke (Doge) of Venice Bianca, a woman of Cyprus beloved of Cassio Ludovico, a Venetian nobleman Roderigo, a young Venetian in love with Desdemona, and the dupe of Iago


Is brabantio's warning to Othello an accurate or inaccurate prophecy?

When Brabantio warns the Moor, "Look to her, Moor, if thou hast eyes to see; / She has deceived her father, and may thee" it is merely foreshadowing at this point and nothing more. Certainly, she had betrayed her father, but she has shown she is very loyal in the process also. Brabantio knows nothing of Iago's machinations and he even thought that it was spells and witchcraft that had stolen his daughter. Desdemona telling Brabantio that it was her choice probably just made him very furious. It cannot be argued that it was accurate or inaccurate-Brabantio was merely lashing out to assuage his anger.
