Brabantio

Brabantio is a character in the play "Othello" by William Shakespeare. Shakespeare calls Brabantio a "senator of Venice;" that is, he is a member of the governing council. He is also the father of Desdemona. At the beginning of the play Iago and Roderigo inform him of Othello's marriage with his daughter. Brabantio accuses Othello of drugging his daughter; however, Desdemona tells of how she respects him only because they are related, but Othello is whom she truly loves. Brabantio accepts what she says, but also disowns his daughter. He is a minor character, but provides the backdrop for Othello and Desdemona's relationship. Shakespearean characters
