Othello secretly married Desdemona without taking any consent form Desdemona's father Brabantio. So, Brabantio became furious and complained to the Duke that Othello had won the heart of his daughter by witchcraft. Hence, Othello was called upon for his defence. Othello plainly talked about his love for Desdemona. He spoke so eloquently that there was no trickery in it. The only witchcraft that he had used, was the art of telling a soft story to win the heart of a lady. Thus the complaint of Brabantio was not accepted by Senate and he was compelled to accept Othello as his son- in-law.
