Blog Post 10 Othello

""Take hold on me, for my particular grief is so floodgate and o'erbearing nature that it engluts and swallows other sorrows and it is still itself"
Duke: "Why, what's the matter?"
Brabantio: "My daughter! O, my daughter!"
First Senator: "Dead"
Brabantio: "Ay, to me, she is abused, stolen from me, and corrupted..."" (Act 1 Scene 3 pg 33)

I found this part of the scene interesting just because of how over dramatic it is. Brabantio is so upset that his daughter got married to Othello that he is saying he now hates his daughter and she is dead to him. I am wondering if this scene symbolizes the start of a bad relationship between the father and daughter. Will Brabantio eventually become accepting or will he forever despise Othello? Now that Othello and Brabantio are with the duke together I am curious to see how the two act around each other. I always find it entertaining how overdramatic the characters are in Shakespeare's plays. Especially when it comes to being in love. I am looking forward to see how this plays a role in this play.
