There are three Shakespearean characters who are African and are called Moors. Some if not all of them were intended to be North African types, not sub-saharan. They are: Aaron in Titus Andronicus who is a villain of the melodrama type, The Prince of Morocco in The Merchant of Venice who is somewhat comic, and Othello in Othello who is a tragic hero.
There are actually three major plot elements to the standard melodrama. The first element is provocation The motivating force of the villains abuse of the hero/heroine. Why the villain chose his/her victim. The second element is the "pangs" of pain suffered by the hero at the merciless hands of the villain. The third major element is the penalty served to the villain at the end of the melodrama. This is where the villain pays for abusing the hero heroine. If you cited only two major elements of melodrama...it could be provocation of the villain (real or perceived) and penalty...or perhaps crime (the actual acts against the hero) and the villain's punishment for those actions. I would argue that there are three major elements to melodrama personally.
