Othello vs Titus

In class the following question was proposed, "is Othello similar to Titus?" The general concensus of the class seemed to be yes, both characters were similar and alike. Personally I disagree with this statement. Although Othello did commit murder, he was extremely remorseful and emotional about it. Two huge characteristics that were missing in Titus' character; remorse and emotion. Titus killed relentlessly, even his own son, without a hint of regret or emotion. Killing seemed almost normal to Titus and he did not seem to have any emotional connection with anyone, he was an isolated man who kept to himself and did not seem to really care about anyone. Where as I believe Othello was a kind, loving man. He continuously longed for acceptance and was deeply in love with Desdemona, which shows real, human emotions (absent in Titus). Othello did commit murder in the end, but it was not something that he wanted to do, it was something that he was manipulated to do. Iago manipulated nearly every character in the play at one point or another but mostly Titus. It was this meddling and manipulating by Iago that led to Othello commiting murder, but even then, Othello did not seem to really want to do it. Othello murdered out of dispear, despression, and misery, not that this excusses murder, but he was so emotionally upset and distant that it just happened. So, basically, I would not compare Othello to Titus simply due to the human emotion aspect which was completely absent in Titus but seemed to play a large role in every one of Othello's actions.
