Probably the most famous African main character in a play by William Shakespeare would be Othello - the "Moor of Venice". None of the characters in Shakespeare's plays were "American" in any sense, let alone "African-American". Scholars still debate whether he was supposed to be Arab or sub-Saharan. All that is certain is that he was dark skinned - but then again, most ethnic groups are darker skinned than most Elizabethan English persons were.
