Aaron the Moor is my all time favorite fictional character. He won my heart with his unwavering conviction to be a villain, and to revel in his role. Harry Linnex's performance in the film adaptation of, Titus Andronicus, is absolutely stunning, but in the end it is Shakespeare's words that leave the lasting impression, like a tattoo on your soul. 

 

Lucius: Art thou not sorry for these heinous deeds?

 

Aaron: Ay, that I had not done a thousand more. 
Even now I curse the day—and yet, I think, 
Few come within the compass of my curse,— 
Wherein I did not some notorious ill, 
As kill a man, or else devise his death, 
Ravish a maid, or plot the way to do it, 
Accuse some innocent and forswear myself, 
Set deadly enmity between two friends, 
Make poor men's cattle break their necks; 
Set fire on barns and hay-stacks in the night, 
And bid the owners quench them with their tears. 
Oft have I digg'd up dead men from their graves, 
And set them upright at their dear friends' doors, 
Even when their sorrows almost were forgot; 
And on their skins, as on the bark of trees, 
Have with my knife carved in Roman letters, 
'Let not your sorrow die, though I am dead.' 
Tut, I have done a thousand dreadful things 
As willingly as one would kill a fly, 
And nothing grieves me heartily indeed 
But that I cannot do ten thousand more.
