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.
Brabantio's attitude toward Roderigo shifts from initial disdain to a begrudging acceptance as the story unfolds. Initially, he views Roderigo as a mere suitor unworthy of his daughter Desdemona's affection, especially when Roderigo reveals his love for her. However, as Brabantio grapples with the shocking news of Desdemona's elopement with Othello, he begins to see Roderigo as an ally in his quest to reclaim his daughter, albeit still with a sense of mistrust and resentment. Ultimately, Roderigo's role as a misguided but loyal follower highlights the complexity of Brabantio's changing perspective.
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.
In Shakespeare's "Othello," Roderigo and Iago conspire to create chaos by exploiting Othello's insecurities and manipulating the emotions of those around them. Roderigo, in love with Desdemona, is easily led by Iago, who uses Roderigo's feelings to provoke Othello and create jealousy. Iago cleverly plants misinformation and sows distrust between Othello and his wife, ultimately leading to tragic consequences. Their actions intensify the play's themes of manipulation and betrayal, driving the plot toward its tragic climax.
Roderigo's first step toward revenge against Othello upon hearing of his marriage to Desdemona is to confide in Iago, expressing his despair and frustration over losing Desdemona. He is manipulated by Iago, who promises to help him win her love back. Roderigo's willingness to follow Iago's schemes marks the beginning of his involvement in the plot against Othello. This sets in motion a series of events fueled by jealousy and betrayal.
Brabantio disapproves of Othello and the relationship he has with Brabantio's daughter Desdemona. This is not because Othello is not worthy of Desdemona because he is a much respected officer, but because he is a Moor (in that time an African) and therefore considered beneath the Italian people.

Guidance. Roderigo would like to get Desdemona's attention, but is too thick to figure out how to go about it, or to know when his cause is lost. Iago is full of ideas and advice which Roderigo wants to rely on.
