othello

so i am finally at the point of my blogs where i am going to talk about the plot of Othello. its kind of hard to understand the old English in that book. but once you get to know what the words means its actually a good play. so here we go:

act 1 scene 1
Venice a street a night

so the book starts out with Roderigo and Iago arguing about something. Roderigo accuses of Iago cheating him. Iago on the other hand is angry about failing to get the promotion over a person named Micheal Cassio. Iago continues to complain about "the moor"(Othello) and his promotion selection. says he pretends to be a faithful officer, but follows Othello only to serve his own purposes. Iago suggests a way of taking revenge against Othello , they shout in the street out Barbantio's(Desdemona's father) house and tell him the news that he has been robbed (Othello took Desdemona's hand in marriage in secret). Barbantio suspects the two men are drunk. he learns Roderigo's name but not Iago's. Iago obscenely tells him that Desdemona and Othello ARE HAVING SEX. He also says that their babies will be animals. Roderigo tell Barbantio that Desdemona has run away to live with Othello. Barbantio leaves to check his home to see if the story is true, he states that he has already seen this happen in his dreams. Iago slips away, not wishing to be identified as a trouble maker. Barbantio discovers his daughter is indeed missing. he goes off with Roderigo to seek assistance from neighbours and the police.

AND THEN THATS THE END OF ACT 1 SCENE 1
