IAGO
Faith, he tonight hath boarded a land carrack.
If it prove lawful prize, he's made for ever.
CASSIO
I do not understand.
IAGO
He's married. (1.2.60-63)

Iago describes marriage as the violent takeover of an enemy's prize ship. This brings us back to the theory that love is a war in Othello, and Iago is trying to play maestro – or more likely, general.

Even now, now, very now, an old black ram
Is tupping your white ewe. Arise, arise!
Awake the snorting citizens with the bell,
Or else the devil will make a grandsire of you.
[…]
you'll
have your daughter covered with a Barbary horse,
you'll have your nephews neigh to you, (1.1.97-100; 124-126)

In order to manipulate Brabantio's fears of miscegenation, Iago uses animal metaphors to suggest that Desdemona is being defiled by Othello.

While talking to Roderigo, Iago advices him to get revenge with Othello and not to be on the moor’s side. Roderigo then leaves with a plan to ruin Othello when Iago starts to explain out loud his ager towards Othello. Iago is very hateful and desiring stating: “And it is thought abroad that ’twixt my sheets/He’s done my office. I know not if ’t be true, But I, for mere suspicion of that king,/Will do as if for surety.” (1.1.377-381)
As a very angry person, Iago becomes very bitter because of his envy to be like Othello and this continuously enrages him and empowers him to destroy Othello and to eventually take his place. This highly affects him and makes him a bad person in many ways which leads him to become more and more aggressive. The other characters unawareness of Iago’s jealousy makes his internal struggle more intense.

Brabantio is mad at Othello and is expressing his feelings to Othello and Iago. " The wealthy curlèd darlings of our nation,/Would ever have, t' incur a general mock,/Run from her guardage to the sooty bosom/Of such a thing as thou--to fear, not to delight./Judjes me the world if tis not gross in sense/That thou hast practiced on her with foul charms,/Abused her delicate youth with drugs or minerals/That weakens motion." (1.2.70-77)
Brabantio has many prejudices about Othello and thinks that just because of the color of his skin, Desdemona could never love him.

From the dark streets of Venice, Iago and Rodrigo wake up the senator with shocking news.     In an attempt to damage the reputation of Othello and infuriate the senator, Iago shouts up to Brabantio,  "... you have lost half of your soul.  Even now, very now, an old black ram is tupping your white ewe. ... you'll have your daughter covered with a Barbary horse.  You'll have your nephews neigh to you"
( 1.1.89-91 and 114-116)
