Aaron speaks his thoughts to the audience in the form of a soliloquy. The soliloquy is about the fact of Tamoras rise to power in Rome. Aaron tells of his secret love relationship with Tamora and how her position in the Roman hierarchy is his rise to power however he also speaks of Tamora as his prisoner of love and how he will use her to gain power to destroy Rome. “Hast prisoner held, fett’red in amorous chains,”.
Aaron stumbles upon Demetrius and Chiron who are having a brawl about the apparent ownership of Lavinia who is with Bassianus. Demetrius argues that he is older and due to this his brother has no chance while Chiron argues that age is not necessary. Aaron Breaks up the fight and calls them both crazy if they are going to fight Lavinia in public as she is bet roved to Bassianus and is not so loose to cheat on him. He furthermore persuades them through that point to share lavinaia and take her into the forest where no one is watching. This therefore is the cause of the rape and mutilation of Lavinia.
Note that Aaron has not explained the motive for his ideal of the destruction of Rome.
