Who is Your Favorite Shakespearean Character....

The direct opposite of the Superhero thread...for all those who's reading list didn't include Marvel or Darkhorse...

Mine would have to Aaron from Titus Andronicus...

"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."

Cliffs: I'm a bad MOTHERFUCKER or in laymens terms Aaron is the modern day Samuel L Jackson.
 
Ah Othello...an interesting read...I'd say that Iago is to Othello as Aaron is to Titus. Both mastermind the plays plot.
 
I always like Sir Toby Belch's name from Twelfth Night, but my favorite character is probably Hamlet or Mercutio.
 
Yeah Hamlet would definitely be second and Mercutio basically made Romeo & Juliet, so I'd have to agree. 12th Night is one of Shakespear's plays I haven't read, any good?
