![]() Why is Rodrigo so distraught? how (and why) does Iago convince him to keep going? This suggest that something in the future is going to happen that Desdemona will trick Othello. When Brabantio says " Look to her, Moor, if thou hast eyes to see:She has deceived her father may thee,"(1.3.289-29) he is saying that Desdemona tricked him and may trick Othello to. Rhyming couplets are usually used in poetry and plays to mark something significant. What is significant about the rhyming couplet used by Brabantio? This objectifies Othello by his race and the fact that he is not from Venice. We can figure this out by seeing that Othello is usually called "the moor," and not by his name. In Act 1 Scene 3 we learn that outsiders can never really fit in to Venice. What do we learn about views towards foreigners? As the thinking question states being brave gets you now where in a "self centered," and "Money," driven world such as Othello lives in and this hinders him because his ideology is different then every one else. He told stories of how he was "sold to slavery,"(1.3.137) and earned his redemption and other stories of bravery. What stories does Othello tell the senate? According to Venetian Courtesans (Coryat) noble women such as Desdemona where kept in the house all day and only seen at church and occasionally if their husbands rowed them in a gondola. During the Renaissance era women didn't really have a voice. It is shocking that Othello lets Desdemona speak on his behalf due to the time period this play takes place. What is startling about Othello's decision to let Desdemona speak on his behalf. ![]() It is ironic because Othello claims to not be a very great speaker but is able to win over the audience when he speaks of how Desdemona fell in love with him The duke states that he thinks it would 'win his daughter too," (1.3.170) and that Brabantio should "take this mangled matter at the best," meaning he should deal with the fact that Othello and Desdemona are married. What is ironic about Othello's claim that he is rude in his speech?īack in the Renaissance era being "rude in speech," meant you were not a very good speaker, which is an ironic claim by Othello. He also describes her as being someone who afraid of "Moors," on line 99 in Act 3 this also goes against Desdemona actions because she married Othello who is one. This is opposite though to her action of marrying Othello which was a bold move because she did not have the approval of her father and he was a "Moor". ![]() How does Brabantio speak of his daughter?īrabantio speaks of his daughter as " A maiden never bold," meaning she would never act out and it was against her nature. Instead they describe him as valiant and trust him to go defend Cyprus for them: "Valiant Othello we must deploy you Against the general enemy Ottoman." ( 1.3.48-49) Unlike Brabantio who is a senator and calls him "thief,' and "an abuser of the world," The senators do not speak of him this way. How does the Duke and senators speak of Othello?
