How did Brabantio find out about his daughter's elopement
Brabantio(a senator)
Brabantio is Desdemona's father.
Othello is already married to Desdemona and there is nothing Brabantio can do about it.
Why don't you just ask what Brabantio expects of Desdemona, as they are the only father/daughter combination in Othello? What Brabantio expects from Desdemona is total obedience to him. His first question to her at the trial before the Duke is "Do you perceive in all this noble company where most you owe obedience?" He does not expect her to have a mind of her own. But of course she does have a mind of her own, and has chosen Othello. Nobody except Brabantio thinks this way; the Duke completely understands and agrees with Othello's account of their courtship, and while not approving generally of elopement, tells Brabantio essentially to get over it. One of Brabantio's lines is particularly telling: "I am glad at soul I have no other child, for thy escape would teach me tyranny to hang clogs on them." His bizarre attitude to parenthood is not affected by this event; he says that if he had another daughter he would make damn sure she could not act on her own choices. He is a domestic tyrant.

Mr. Bennet blamed himself for Lydia's elopement, believing that his lack of guidance and discipline towards her behavior contributed to the situation.

Roderigo is hoping to gain Brabantio's favour so Brabantio will support Roderigo's bid to marry Desdemona. Unfortunately for him, 1) Brabantio doesn't like him, 2) Desdemona doesn't like him, and 3) Desdemona is already married to Othello.
The duration of A Jitney Elopement is 1980.0 seconds.
The duration of Elopement - film - is 1.37 hours.
Brabantio was not happy about the fact of Othello and Desdemona marriage. Brabantio was so unhappy he even promised to reward Roderigo if he can find Desdemona, after being told that she has run away to get married to Othello.
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.
Roderigo wants Desdemona as his wife, which makes Othello his rival. It is natural for people to be hostile to their rivals in love. As for Brabantio, Othello is a parvenu, not an established member of the Venetian society. And he has married Brabantio's daughter without first discussing it with the father of the bride. In the society presented here, as in many nowadays, a father felt he had rights of ownership over his daughters, which would make Othello (like Romeo in Romeo and Juliet and Lorenzo in Merchant of Venice) a thief.
