#ShakeRace question: has there been a debate about what Moor means in the context of Aaron in Titus the way there is in Othello? Are Aaron’s pronouncements of blackness taken as literal? Why not Othello’s then? Asking for a friend. That friend is me.
I want to know more about this trying to be white, re: Othello. I think the same but I want to know where you see it in the play. Agree on Aaron, it’s playing to type, particularly with other stage Moors.

I see it mostly in the way he talks about his career and how he uses his service to create racial/ethnic distance between himself and the Turkish forces. Also, the fact that Desdemona knows so much about his history, but not the handkerchief’s decidedly African origins.

Yes! His actions override his blackness. The visage in his mind.
