Othello 1-2

Summary:
Roderigo and Iago tell Brabantio that his daughter is with Othello the moor. Iago confronts Othello to get him to hide from Brabantio but Othello confronts him. Brabantio brings his charges against Othello to the Duke, but Desdemona speaks in Othellos defense. Othello is then sent to battle the Turks. Desdemona insists on going with him and Othello leaves her in the charge of Iago. Iago and Roderigo plot to steal Desdemona from Othello. The Turks lose the battle and Iago and Desdemona talk while waiting for Othello to return. Othello leaves with her and Iago complains about him. Iago gets Cassio drunk and he attacks Roderigo. Iago tells Cassio to talk to Desdemona to regain his reputation and he plots to betray all of his friends.
