| Description | Shakespeare fashions a Moor from the materials of his culture, he creates two figures, Aaron in Titus Andronicus and Othello, whose differences reflect the discrepancies and contradictions within those materials. Moor was sometimes assumed to be civilized rather than savage, white or tawny rather than black, he was nonetheless circumscribed as Other. Shakespeare produces two Moors who are situated in a potentially threatening position very near the "inside" of authority and power. He uses that situation in Othello as a means of questioning the difference nonetheless imposed upon the Moor. His initial vision of the figure as present in Titus Andronicus, however, enforces that difference. While Shakespeare allows the Moor the freedom and ability to manipulate and maneuver close to the court circle, he nonetheless keeps him always an outsider, always the alien whose malice is less directed than that of Saturninus, Tamora, or her sons.
