Barbantio goes in search of Othello and then makes his way to the Senate where he accuses Othello of bewitching his daughter "That thou hast practised on her with foul charms, abused her delicate youth with drugs or minerals." (Act I, Scene 2) "She is abused, stolen from me, corrupted by spells and medicines." (ACT I, Scene 3) (possible context of black people and witches) Barbantio's accusations are proved false when Othello and Desdemona explain how they fell in love. Her father, Barbantio, is informed of this (on the night of the marriage) by Roderigo, who had hoped to marry Desdemona himself. OTHELLO: THE HERO DRIVEN BY LOVE: The Moor Othello, a respected general, has secretly married a wealthy Venetian aristocrat, Desdemona.
