Act 2, Scene 1
Explanation and Analysis—Amorous Chains:
Act 2, Scene 1 begins with a soliloquy delivered by Aaron the Moor, revealing his romantic relationship with Tamora:
Upon [Tamora’s] wit doth earthly honor wait,
And virtue stoops and trembles at her frown.
Then, Aaron, arm thy heart and fit thy thoughts
To mount aloft with thy imperial mistress,
And mount her pitch whom thou in triumph long
Hast prisoner held, fettered in amorous chains
And faster bound to Aaron’s charming eyes
Than is Prometheus tied to Caucasus.
