Act I Scene III
Role: Questioner
I was wondering in this scene why Iago was and is going to such far lengths just to get back at one person? And in the process he's hurting much more than he's intending. As connecting to this I was wondering if Iago can be diagnosed with any modern mental disorders and if anyone has researched that?

Brabantio: She's dead to me. She's been tricked and stolen from me, enchanted by magic spells. She must've been tricked or drugged, because there's no way she could have made this mistake on her own.

Othello confesses that he took his daughter and married her. The father doesn't believe that Desdemona could marry a man like Othello.

Emilia
Iago’s wife and Desdemona’s attendant. A cynical, worldly woman, she is deeply attached to her mistress and distrustful of her husband.

# data[].attributes.body
Desdemona
The daughter of the Venetian senator Brabanzio. Desdemona and Othello are secretly married before the play begins. While in many ways stereotypically pure and meek, Desdemona is also determined and self-possessed. She is equally capable of defending her marriage, jesting bawdily with Iago, and responding with dignity to Othello’s incomprehensible jealousy.

# data[].attributes.body
Iago
Othello’s ensign (a job also known as an ancient or standard-bearer), and the villain of the play. Iago is twenty-eight years old. While his ostensible reason for desiring Othello’s demise is that he has been passed over for promotion to lieutenant, Iago’s motivations are never very clearly expressed and seem to originate in an obsessive, almost aesthetic delight in manipulation and destruction.

# data[].attributes.body
Othello
The play’s protagonist and hero. A Christian Moor and general of the armies of Venice, Othello is an eloquent and physically powerful figure, respected by all those around him. In spite of his elevated status, he is nevertheless easy prey to insecurities because of his age, his life as a soldier, and his race. He possesses a “free and open nature,” which his ensign Iago uses to twist his love for his wife, Desdemona, into a powerful and destructive jealousy (I.iii.381).

A few lines I thought were powerful was when Brabantio was arguing with Othello about how he stole his daughter by putting spells on her and drugging her. I thought it was powerful because of how he expressed himself and the way he sounded was so angry and powerful, you can tell his daughter is everything to him.

Again, I summarized Act 1, scene 2. Basically, the scene opens with Othello and Iago (an almost completely different Iago: He's being very nice and "loyal" to Othello, compared to the rude and racist Iago from the last scene). Desdemona's father confronts Othello by accusing him of drugging Desdemona and "stealing" her against her will. Desdemona's father wants Othello in prison.

As a director today, i analyzed the scene when Iago and Othello are having a conversation about battle when Barbantio confronts Othello about the crimes he has committed to him about his daughter. The scene is angry and Othello appears to be toying with Barbantio. This scene would have more emotion than the first scene from scene 1.

The scene opens on Iago visiting Othello as a warning. Being fully aware of what he has done to Othello thus far he was quite pleased with himself, enough so to warn Othello of his impending divorce, to not have his puppet deliver the news for him.
Brabantio storms in and demands that Othello draws his sword and accuses Othello of drugging his youthful daughter.

For this scene I mainly have questions about Desdemona and Othello's marriage. Why is her father so angry with Othello if they are married and why is he being sent to prison?
