Aaron the Moor

Aaron the Moor is the lover of Tamora and the main antagonist of William Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus. As he is called by Marcus in Act V, Scene III, he is "an irreligious moor, and chief architect and plotter of these woes".

Trivia

 * Due to the fact that Black people were not allowed on stage during Shakespeare's time, the actor playing Aaron would have originally been a white man wearing blackface.
 * In Julie Taymor's 1999 adaptation of the play entitled Titus, Aaron is played by Harry Lennox and is considered by many to give the best performance in the film.
