Othello Journal #1

So I think the main point of Act One, Scene One was to inform us that Othello and Brabantio's daughter have eloped. In the beginning of the scene, Iago and Roderigo are talking about Iago's job and how he isn't being promoted and someone else less experienced than him is getting the position that he should've gotten. And then, they continue to go to Brabantio's house and wake him up, telling him that his daughter has run away to get married. 

It took me a really long time to understand what I was reading. I pretty much just had to read it over and over again. And over and over and over it again some more. And it's really disrupting to have to use the explanatory notes, but I guess they helped.
