While reading Othello Act 1 there was definitely a bunch of backstabbing and establishing who is real and fake. Iago is apparently the guy who has a kind of conniving personality, he wants more than he deserves and is never going to accomplish anything because he is to concerned about what other people are getting and what he isn't. His plan to destroy Othello's good name with Roderigo really sets off how the rest of the play is going to end up.
Another part that stuck out a lot to me was how Branbantio (Desdemona's father) who loved and somewhat admired Othello for all his great deeds and accomplishments is wrong for how he reacted to the news about his daughter and Othello's marriage. Now, yes I do admit it was completely wrong for her to go behind her fathers back and get married without approval, but for Brabantio to have so much respect for Othello and then for him to say that he put a spell on Desdemona and was not worthy of her, was completely disrespectful.

Othello is a very strong and loyal person. From his personality he puts off like he prefers to settle problems out through peace while all the others are just ready to fight. When Brabantio came to him about his daughter he was ready to fight, and for the men that Brabantio brought with him to basically kill Othello. Othello thought that if he maned up to what was going on and took responsibilty that things would settle down and Brabantio would see where he was coming from.
