Line 3:
** For that matter, Aaron himself can be seen as a bitter, lost and unhinged [[Woobie Destroyer of Worlds]] if you squint a bit.
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: The movie is brimming with them. Some prime examples are the gypsy dance, Lavinia's rape flashback (which involved heavy metal music and gratuitous tigers), most of the orgy scenes, and the bit where Chiron dances on a pool table wearing enough leather to start his own BDSM colony.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Depending on how it's played, Tamora, Aaron, ChironThe Moor. If he truly does repent all the good things he's done, Demetriuseven his love for his son (his ONE redeeming quality), andthen Titushe's couldfar allgone fitinto this trope.
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] Dialogue: After finding out about the abovementioned [[Chocolate Baby]], the following bit of dialogue takes place:
{{quote| '''Chiron''': Thou hast undone our mother. <br />
Line 9:
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Aaron, though he does tend to get overlooked amongst Shakespeare's other Magnificent Bastards such as [[Othello|Iago]] and [[Richard III]].
** The film really highlights this in [[Evil Gloating|Aaron's monologue]] after [[For the Evulz|betraying Titus]] with the [[Life or Limb Decision]] ("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" ''etc., etc.''), which is set to [[Soundtrack Dissonance|a jaunty jazz tune]].
** Titus himself is a boderline case too.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Can't sleep. Titus won't eat me. He'll make someone else eat me.
* [[Squick]]: If a production doesn't squick someone out, something is very, ''very'', wrong.
