After knowing that Roderigo had just told Brabantio that Othello and Desdemona had eloped, Iago went to go warn Othello and Desdemona, that Brabantio was angry and he was coming to get his daughter. However, when Iago got to Othello's house to warn him, the Duke's men, had come. The Duke needed Othello to meet with himself and the senators of Venice about a Turkish invasion of the Venetian colony of Cyprus.
Othello's houseThere was a knock on the door. It opens, and in walks Iago.
"Iago, my friend, nice to see you. To what do I owe this visit?" Asked Othello.
"Othello, good to see you to. I was just out and I saw that Brabantio and Roderigo were out searching every citizen's home. Brabantio is looking for the moor…excuse me….that has married his daughter."
"So you're saying that Brabantio is out looking for me?" asked Othello.
"Yes, I'm afraid so. And might I add, that is very angry. He is going to try and challenge your marriage."
"Is that so. I do not fear Brabantio. I know that Desdemona loves me, she would never give me up."
There was another knock at the door. The door opens. Cassio comes in along with some officers.
"Lieutenant Cassio, nice to see you. Are you here on orders from the Duke?" asked Othello.
"Yes I am here with orders from the duke. The Turks are putting a fleet into the Venetian colony of Cyprus. The Duke has called for you. He wishes you to meet with him and the Venetian senators." Stated Cassio.
"Thank you Cassio. I will come with you in just a minute. Iago, you can leave now." Stated Iago, as he left the room.
"Iago, why are you here?" asked Cassio.
"Just something I had to tell him." Iago sighed heavily. "He's married."
"To who?" asked Cassio, who was utterly confused.
"He's married to-"
"Okay. I'm ready." Said Othello, ready to leave.
Brabantio comes through the door, as well as some officers.
"General Othello, it is Brabantio. He comes with bad intention."
"Thank you, Iago," he sighed as fear overcame him.
"Senator, it is the Moor." Cried Roderigo.
"THIEF!" cried Brabantio. "Officers, draw your swords. Roderigo, are you sure this is him?" asked Brabantio.
"Yes sir, couldn't be more sure."
"You thief, what have you done with my daughter. Where is she? You have used magic to win her over."
"No sir, I have never used magic on her. Not once. Ever. I swear." Said Othello.
"Arrest him. Put him in prison until he rots."
"What will the Duke say, once he knows that you have arrested his most greatest warrior?" cried Othello.
"Senator, the Duke's in council, and he has sent for you," stated one of the officers.
"Bring the moor to the Duke's. We shall settle this there."
