Answer: Brabantio often invited Othello to his house, where he met Desdemona, and they fell in love.
Explanation:
Othello is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It is a story about a powerful general of the Venetian army who is utterly betrayed by his deceitful friend, Iago.
In Act I, Scene III, Desdemona's father, Brabantio, argues she has been stolen from him by spells. The duke thus demands that Othello tells the whole story about his marriage to Desdemona. Othello admits that they got married, but insists that he did not use magic to persuade her to be with him. On this occasion, Othello explains that Brabantio invited him to his house, where they discussed his battle stories and journeys outside the civilized world. Desdemona overheard those stories, and wanted Othello to retell them to her. Impressed by what he had to say, Desdemona fell in love with Othello.

The blacksmith embodies many core American values and is the backbone of a typical American community.
Explanation:
The poem "The Village Blacksmith" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow describes a blacksmith who had to juggle his time between his family and his work. But he seems to have a successful way of managing all his priorities.
The poem is an image of a blacksmith who represents "everyman", a perfect role model for the people to get inspired from. He epitomizes the image of an individual who has a managing ability to keep all his priorities in order, be it to his family, his work or even the community. This image of 'the blacksmith" came to be a representation of all the core values that embody the American society. It also represents the importance of the people who were the backbone of the American community, even during hard times.
