Desdemona's father, Brabantio, is upset about her marriage to Othello because he feels betrayed and believes that Othello has used witchcraft or manipulation to win Desdemona's affection. As a Venetian nobleman, he harbors racial prejudices against Othello, a Moor, and is distressed by the idea of his daughter marrying someone outside their social and racial circle. Brabantio's anger is compounded by the notion that Desdemona has defied paternal authority and societal expectations.
