I think that Act one Scene one, is pretty much the introduction to the play. It starts out with Roderigo and Iago discussing how Iago didn't get the raise he wanted and how he is more deserving for the job than the person who got it, now just using the position he's in and Othello to get where he wants to be. After that they go to Brabantio's to wake him, and tell him his daughter has eloped with a black man. At first Brabantio doesn't believe Iago and Roderigo so he goes and checks, while he is gone Iago leaves so he wont be seen working against Othello, and when Brabantio returns he is furious and so he and Roderigo set off to get men so they can find Othello and his new wife.
At first I didn't understand anything that was going on, but then I just keep rereading, then I talked to Trevor and discussed what happened, by then I basically understood what happened. So just to check myself I went to no fear Shakespeare to check that I understood it right. The side notes were kind of annoying because I didn't know what would be in them so I would and lose my place all the time.
