Aaron in Titus

[dragonyphoenix]

I just finished watching Titus. This guy, Aaron, he's super into being a villain. I mean it. He's going on like "Halelujah, I'm a villain. Hallelujah, villain again." Really, he should have a mustache so he could twirl it!

He is a good villain!

Except they don't explain why he's evil other than throwaway comments about dark skin and having been a slave. The queen of the Goths, her son was murdered as part of a ritual. All kinds of terrible things were done to Titus' family. So we know why each of them wants to harm.

Aaron, well he's just evil and wishes he were more so. I don't care if it is Shakespeare, I want realistic motivations from all the characters.
