"I have charged thee not to haunt about my doors. In honest plainness thou hast heard me say My daughter is not for thee. And now in madness, Being full of supper and distemp'ring draughts, Upon malicious (bravery) dost thou come To start my quiet" (Shakespeare 13) Here, the reader hears from Brabantio himself that he does not think that Desdemona is right for Roderigo: he has even banned Roderigo from being on his grounds. So, knowing that Roderigo loves Desdemona, and Othello has just eloped with her, Roderigo, like Iago, has a motive for wanting Othello out of the picture. Since Othello is a Shakespearian tragedy, someone is going to die; will it be Othello? Probably, cause the title character of Shakespear's works always seems to die. Maybe this is why some people don't like Shakespear's tragedies: you already know who's going to die.
Ex. Macbeth, Romeo & Juliet, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, etc.
