Othello is a successful general, respected by the senate and the Doge of Venice.
Iago uses the weaknesses of Othello, specifically jealousy and his devotion to things as they seem, to conquer his opposite in Desdemona. Othello believes his weakness is trust. He is quick to trust others, especially Iago.
Many scholars believe that the play Othello was based on the short story/play, A Moorish Captain.
There once was a man named Othello Who in Venice seemed a very strange fellow He loved the Desdemona But Brabantio owned her wishing Othello to "hello"
The Turks are militarily threatening Venetian possessions. The Duke of course summons his most capable military man. That would be Othello.

Othello
What kind of mood do the villagers seem to be in?
Brabantio is a Venetian senator who is Desdemona's father. He becomes Othello's father-in-law when Desdemona elopes with Othello in the beginning of the play. Brabantio is very unhappy with their sudden marriage. He accuses Othello of performing witchcraft on his daughter to make her fall in love with her. Othello denies this. Brabantio warns Othello that if his daughter deceived him, she can deceive Othello as well. In Act V, it is discovered that Brabantio died broken-hearted as a result of Desdemona's marriage to Othello.
He tells Brabantio just to accept the marriage because Othello is a good man and for what he told him about how they fell in love shows the quality of Othello
He was shocked, for a number of reasons, when he saw Othello publicly strike Desdemona. First of all, it was totally different from the kind of behaviour that the Venetians had come to expect from Othello. Secondly, it was shocking and outrageous that any man should strike his wife. But it was even more shocking that he should do it in public. And it was even more shocking than that when, as it happened, the wife in question was the daughter of an important man, a senator. Lodovico says that if he told the people in Venice what he saw, they would not believe it.
