When the play opens, Brabantio 's household is being disrupted by Iago and Roderigo, who are crying out to Brabantio that he has been robbed. Brabantio says, "What tell 'st thou me of robbing? This is Venice; / My house is not a grange" (I.i.105-06). He

and Roderigo, in the beginning, wake up Brabantio and tell him of Desdemona’s marriage to Othello, who is then angered by Roderigo’s presence due to the continuous past attempts of asking Brabantio for Desdemona’s hand in marriage.

Once her father Brabantio learns of this, he gets fearful for Desdemona. Because of Iago spilling the secret, Othello got insulted for his race, his age, and his manners by Brabantio in court. He got embarrassed and had to publicly defend himself in the Duke’s meeting room, something that an “honest” (as described many times by himself and others)

Then Iago adds even more insult to injury–––he describes Othello as an “old black ram” who is “tupping” Brabantio’s “white ewe,” which only serves to dehumanize both Desdemona and Othello. It is as if Iago views women and people of color as no better than barnyard animals. Not only does he paint Brabantio an image of his daughter having sex, Iago repeats the word
