Detailed analysis and commentary by Claire's Notes of Act I, scene ii of Othello by William Shakespeare
Iago is up to his tricks again as he tells Othello that Roderigo has been making mischief with Brabantio, Othello's new father-in-law. Brabantio, outraged at Desdemona's elopement, is on the warpath, demanding that Othello answer charges of witchcraft in court and be sent to jail. How will Othello react in the face of accusations that are founded purely on racial prejudice?
