Duke
[to Brabantio]
Original-
“ And noble signor, if virtue no delighted beauty lack, your
son-in-law is more fair than black.”
Modern-
“Sir, goodness is beautiful, your son-in-law is beautiful not
black.”
Trying to convince the great Babantio that his new found son-in-law is a good man despite his skin color is proven difficult, the Duke makes this statement after Desdemona came forth to declare her love for Othello in front of her father and men of high rankings.
