Iago explains his hatred of Othello for choosing Michael Cassio to be his Lieutenant and not him as he expected. Iago first asks his friend Roderigo to tell Desdemona’s father Brabantio that his daughter has left to marry Othello, a marriage Brabantio opposes because Othello is a Moor (an African). Brabantio confronts Othello, and they take their argument to the Duke, who has ordered Othello to Cyprus to stop a Turkish invasion.

By the time they reach Cyprus the foreign threat is gone.
