In act 1 scene, Brabantio represented himself as a very tough man with high standards and with high social standing "My house is not a grange" (Pg.9-107). Everyone respected him and knew better than to disobey him. However, when he found out that his daughter was lost, he caved in and offered Roderigo whatever he wanted to help him find Desdemona. Shakespeare did so, in order for the readers to see how much Brabantio cared about his daughter and that he was prepared to set his dignity aside just to find her. At the same time Brabantio is in a position where he is in denial as the man he trusted (Othello) betrayed him and married his daughter. At this point, Brabantio was feeling guilty that he had not allowed Iago to marry Roderigo "...O that you had had her! Some one way some another..." (pg.13- 174).
