Othello Act I, Scene I
Storyboard Text
- Brabantio, with all due respect, I’m here out of courtesy and good will. I’ve come to tell you—
- Roderigo
- Brabantio
- What kind of crude jerk are you?
- My God, sir, you’re stubborn and suspicious. We come here to help you and you treat us like thugs, but you let an African horse climb all over your daughter. Your grandsons will neigh to you like horses. Your whole family will be ruined.
- Iago
- (to RODERIGO)It’s time for me to say goodbye to you. It would be inappropriate—dangerous, even—for me to be seen working against the Moor, as I would if I stayed. The Venetian government might reprimand him for this, but it can’t safely get rid of him, since it needs him urgently for the imminent Cyprus wars. They couldn’t find another man with his abilities to lead their armed forces—not if their souls depended on it. I hate him, but I’ve got to show him signs of loyalty and affection, even if it’s just an act. If you want to find him, send the search party to the Sagittarius Inn. He and I will be there.
- Roderigo
- Iago
- Brabantio
- Light the candles! Wake up my whole household! I dreamt about this. I’m starting to worry it’s true. Give me some light!

- Roderigo
- It’s true. She’s gone. The rest of my life will benothing but bitterness. Now, Roderigo, where did you see her?—Oh, that miserable wretch!—You say you saw her with the Moor?—Oh, who would want to be a father?—How did you know it washer?—To think she tricked me so easily!—What did she say to you?—Get me more candles, and wake up all my relatives. Do you think they’re married?
- Brabantio
- *BRABANTIO enters with servants and torches*
