He is constantly referred to as “the moor” metaphorically stereotyping his character, for “moors” were people who descended from Africa. Brabantio, furious by the intentions of marriage of his daughter to “the Moor” believes that Othello used drugs and witchcraft to steal his daughter from him “O thou foul thief!
