 Studying Othello? Here's how you can analyze that one scene too. The scene opens with Iago speaking to Othello who is the more. We can see that Iago is reporting to him how Brabantio does not like the fact that he is with his daughter and here Iago is basically saying he wanted to hit Brabantio and we can see Iago's very two-faced, he's quite duplicitous, he's pretending to love Othello. Iago then speaks using this declarative sentence to pretend to be concerned for Othello's well-being as well as his marriage. He reminds Othello using alliteration that Brabantio is a very powerful politician, is a powerful senator, even more powerful than the Duke and therefore he may have the power to stop Othello's marriage or at least declare it illegal. Yet Othello is not moved and he speaks using sibilance to say that his services as a general is so important to Venice that even the Duke will support his marriage. He then speaks using assonance to reveal who this woman is. He's married to Desdemona whose Brabantio's daughter and he has this unbreakable love and bond with her and he's confident their marriage is going to be accepted by Venice. The stage directions then reveal Cassio, his lieutenant, as well as the Duke's officers are coming to him to deliver some news. Cassio then speaks using Ima Potamata to tell Othello that the Duke needs him urgently because there's issues in Cyprus. This is an island that Venice owned and the Ottoman Empire was basically trying to take it away through a wall. Cassio then speaks using sibilance to say that the Duke and his officers have been looking everywhere for Othello. We can see here that Othello is incredibly important in Venetian society. He enjoys a really high status as a general in society. As Othello leaves to go and speak to the Duke, here Iago speaks to Cassio using this simple sentence to inform him that Othello has secretly been married. We can see that Iago loves creating problems and drama. The stage directions then show Othello returning and then further stage directions show that Brabantio Rodrigo and some officers have come armed and ready to attack him. Brabantio is furious and he speaks using Cesura to call Othello a thief for taking Desdemona away and eloping with her. He then accuses Othello of casting a spell on Desdemona. Here we can see Brabantio illustrating the theme of prejudice because she's basically saying that there's no way a woman like Desdemona, a Venetian woman, would fall in love with a more an African descent person. Here we can see that he holds very racist beliefs against Othello. Brabantio then asks his officers to arrest Othello. We can see that in contrast to Brabantio, who's very emotional, Othello is cool and level-headed. He speaks using alliteration to say that it's not necessary to arrest him. He will go and answer his charges wherever Brabantio wants to take him. Another officer then comes in to tell Othello that the Duke needs him. He wants to see Othello. Brabantio is pleased to hear that the Duke is in a meeting and he speaks using exclamatory sentence as well as repetition to say that he's going to bring Othello in front of the Duke who will say that their marriage is illegal.
