[Quiet Man Cometh]

You should check out Tamora from Titus Andronicus (one of the earliest of his plays, and there are doubts that he wrote it because of the violence). She's quite the item. If memory serves, the death count of that play was 4 by the end of scene 3 of the first act.

"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."

-Aaron the Moor (Tamora's lover) in the latter act of the play. One of my favourite lines that I can't find to quote goes something like "If I have done one single good thing in all of my life, I do repent it from my very soul."

Charming guy.
