 Studying Othello? Here's how you can analyze that one scene three. The scene opens in the council chamber and we can see that the Duke and Senators are having an emergency meeting about new developments in Cyprus. Although there are conflicting reports, all the men at the meeting agree that the Ottoman Empire has sent a large Turkish fleet of ships to attack and take over Cyprus. Remember Cyprus was part of Venice's territory therefore their meeting to decide how to defend their territory. As I discussed in these developments, the stage directions show Brabantio Othello, Iago Rodrigo, as well as officers entering. The Duke of Venice speaks using this adjective as well as a zero to show that he's really relieved to see Othello. He is confident that Othello as a great general will help in the defense of Cyprus against the Ottoman Empire. Before Othello can reply, Brabantio butts in and he speaks using hyperbole to say that he's come to the Duke because he has something that's so grievous and so terrible he needs to talk to him about. Brabantio is dramatic and theatrical because he speaks in these exclamatory sentences saying that his troubles lie with his daughter Desdemona. He speaks using the rule of three to say that Desdemona has been stolen from him because somebody has cast her under a terrible spell. The Duke supports Brabantio and he speaks using alliteration to agree that which craft and casting spells is a capital offense is a capital crime in Venice and it needs to be punished. Brabantio then speaks using Cesaro to accuse Othello of practicing witchcraft against Desdemona. We can see here that he doesn't even use Othello's name. He calls him a maul. We can see he's incredibly racist against Othello. When the Duke asks Othello to defend himself, Othello speaks using Imitant Pentameter and we can see that he's an incredibly skilled speaker who is able to hold his own against this entire Senate. He is not intimidated. Othello then admits that he and Desdemona eloped. They married without getting Brabantio's agreement and his blessing. Yet Othello also speaks using alliteration to remind them of his valuable services as a general. Because of Othello, Venice has managed to win several wars and he's very important to the state. Othello then speaks using repetition of this pronoun to tell the Senate that they should go and fetch Desdemona so that she can come and speak for herself in front of Brabantio. Othello then speaks using parallelism to say that Desdemona fell for him because of how brave and valiant he was as a general and he fell for her because she always used to listen to his stories and seemed to take a particular interest in him. Desdemona finally arrives and she speaks using Cesaro to tell her father Brabantio that even if she loves him, her duty is now to Othello who she loves more. After Brabantio accepts Desdemona's wish, the Duke of Venice tells Othello he must hurry to Cyprus to go and fight the Turks. Desdemona then speaks in this hyperbole to say that as she is Othello's wife she should go with him to Cyprus. As Brabantio leaves, he tells Othello this, in other words he plants doubts in Othello's mind about Desdemona being a good person.
