My daughter, my sweet and beautiful Desdemona is in danger! This, even now,
causes distress in my heart as it did the moment Roderigo told me of this
horrible tale. Earlier this night, while in the midst of my slumber, I was
awaken by loud, rambunctious yelling of thieves breaking into my home. The men
who had summoned me this dark evening were Roderigo and his fellow who I do not
know. I will admit, I am not fond of Roderigo. He is the worse of the suitors
after my daughter, a relentless and complete imbecile. Yet, his words and those
of the other man telling me of the state of my daughter's innocent and
reputation- I could not help let those initial impressions subside! I left my
chamber and searched with Roderigo and my servants for my daughter, yet she was
nowhere to be found! I was astonished and furious! I told Roderigo, "
Call up my brother. O, would you had had her! Some one way, some another. Do you know where we may apprehend her and the Moor?"
He replied with assurance that he would assist my search for the Moor who'd
taken my daughter's virtue.
I will rip each home board by board if I must! It is necessary! It is her
honor that's in stake, her dignity! With weapons gathered and officers summoned,
I swear on my position I will find the Moor bringing disgrace not only to my
dear Desdemona, but the entire nation of Italy!
