I do/ do not feel sorry for Brabantio

I do feel sorry for Desdemona's father Brabantio because he was so unaware of what was going on between Othello and Desdemona and it came as quite a shock to him. He feels as if he has been deceived and lied to and the fact that he is so unaware, positions the audience to feel sorry for him. "How didst thou know 'twas she?  O she deceives me" (Act 1, Scene 1, Line 164). However there is a thought that maybe he is not really concerned about Desdemona's life and what she does, and that it is his own fault that he was not aware about this relationship.
