Iago leaves Roderigo and goes to search for Othello, who does not know about his participation in the scheme. Brabantio ends up looking for his daughter and doesn’t find her. Iago tells the senator again and again that Othello and Desdemona have sexual relationships. In the beginning, he does not believe Roderigo and Iago. Brabantio, a prominent Venetian senator, comes out to see who is making all this noise. The two come to Desdemona’s father and tell him that he has been robbed. So the family will be against the general. Iago suggests that to spoil Desdemona and Othello’s ideal life, they have to let Desdemona’s parents know. Roderigo fears that he has lost Desdemona and his money because of it. Another reason is Othello’s race, as he is a Moore, an African. The main one is that despite Iago’s exemplary service, Michael Cassio was promoted to the post of lieutenant. He hates Othello and has reasons for that, as he claims. Othello is the general whom Iago has been serving.
He also learned that Desdemona had married Othello recently. To his disappointment, there was no progress in his efforts to win her heart.
Rodrigo, a wealthy nobleman, asked Iago to help him marry Desdemona. It happens on the dark streets of Venice.
Othello Act 1 starts with the argument between Rodrigo and Iago.
