Throughout Shakespeare's play, "Titus Andronicus," social class is highlighted and emphasized in the character, Aaron. The racially biased society that is made up of the Romans and the Goths in Shakespeare's play particularly draw to attention the judgments and alienation placed on black people. In "Titus Andronicus," Act II, Scene II, Bassianus and Lavinia's reactions to Tamora being Aaron's lover contributes to the notion of 16th century stereotypes of black or dark skinned people. Bassianus and Lavinia harshly describe Aaron as "a barbarous Moor and a "foul desire." According to the characters and also the 16th century Shakespearean audience, dark skin was equivalent to dirty thoughts and actions.

He even embraces his stereotype by declaring ,"Aaron will have his soul black like his face  , which underlines how the word black is synonymous to evil (3.1.4). Aaron's race also brings into attention the alienation that came along with the racially biased society in Elizabethan times. When the nurse in Titus sug
