Brabantio goes to the Duke to express his outrage and seek justice after discovering that his daughter, Desdemona, has secretly married Othello, a Moor. He believes that this union is a violation of his parental authority and an affront to his family's honor. Brabantio hopes to persuade the Duke to intervene and annul the marriage, as he feels betrayed and wronged by both his daughter and Othello. His visit reflects the themes of race, power, and familial control that are central to the play.

What was expected of a daughter by her father in Othello?
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.
