Summary
Shakespeare is known for creating memorable characters, and his villains are often especially intriguing. Aaron and Iago are both villains in revenge tragedies by Shakespeare. In Titus Andronicus, which is believed to be Shakespeare’s first tragedy, even though most of the characters are far from admirable, Aaron is the main evildoer. Iago is the main antagonist in Othello, a later tragedy. Although there are a few differences between them, Aaron and Iago are quite similar.
