The villain of Shakespeare's TITUS ANDRONICUS was a "coal-black Moor" named Aaron. There are so many parallels in that piece to modern times. We the People are Titus, pushed to the limit and about to snap. Highly recommend the play or Julie Taymor's movie* (Titus).
*Mature audiences only
I really loved the sets in that movie.
Tough play -
Back in Rome, Titus’ behaviour suggests he may have gone insane. Convinced of his madness, Tamora, Chiron, and Demetrius approach him, dressed as the spirits of Revenge, Murder, and Rape. Tamora (as Revenge) tells Titus that she will grant him revenge on all of his enemies if he can convince Lucius to postpone the imminent attack on Rome. Titus agrees and sends Marcus to invite Lucius to a reconciliatory feast. Revenge then offers to invite the Emperor and Tamora as well, and is about to leave when Titus insists that Rape and Murder (Chiron and Demetrius, respectively) stay with him. When Tamora is gone, Titus cuts their throats and drains their blood into a basin held by Lavinia. Titus morbidly tells Lavinia that he plans to “play the cook”, grind the bones of Demetrius and Chiron into powder, and bake their heads.
The next day, during the feast at his house, Titus asks Saturninus if a father should kill his daughter when she has been raped. When Saturninus answers that he should, Titus kills Lavinia and tells Saturninus of the rape. When the Emperor calls for Chiron and Demetrius, Titus reveals that they have been baked in the pie Tamora has just been eating. Titus then kills Tamora and is immediately killed by Saturninus, who is subsequently killed by Lucius to avenge his father’s death. Lucius is then proclaimed Emperor. He orders that Saturninus be given a state burial, that Tamora’s body be thrown to the wild beasts outside the city, and that Aaron be buried chest-deep and left to die of thirst and starvation.
