Othello Assigment #1

QUOTE
Brabantio- Look to her, moor, if thou hast to see: she has deceived her father and may thee." (1.3 25 287-288)

DESCRIPTION OF QUOTE
If thou hast to see can be seen as a racist remark because Brabantio is questioning whether Othello can see because he is a Moor. This is an example of foreshadowing, this forshadowes that later in the book Desdemona will betray Othello in some way. Most likely she will cheat on him because earlier in the text Othello says he has no sexual desires anymore.

QUESTION
What will Desdemona do to Othello
