Hopelessly in love with Desdemona, Roderigo is angry that his supposed friend Iago didn't do anything about the elopement of Desdemona and Othello, but Iago convinces him that he hates Othello. . . . Shouting vulgarities, Iago and Roderigo announce the elopement to Desdemona's father, Brabantio, who declares that he will form a posse to chase down Othello. Iago sneaks off to join Othello so that he can pretend that he is still his loyal ensign
Iago, pretending to warn Othello that Brabantio is coming after him, tries to make Othello angry at his father-in-law. . . . Cassio and some of Othello's men come to summon Othello to the Senate, which needs him to deal with the Turkish threat to Cyprus. . . . Brabantio and his men arrive.

The Duke and senators receive news of a serious threat against Cyprus, which makes the Duke very glad to see Othello. . . . Brabantio brings his charges against Othello, and Othello responds by telling the true story of his and Desdemona's mutual love. . . . Desdemona arrives and confirms Othello's story, then receives permission to accompany Othello to Cyprus. . . . Iago persuades Roderigo that he can still have Desdemona, if he will just disguise himself and come to Cyprus. . . . In a soliloquy, Iago develops his plan to make Othello jealous.
