The Tragedy of Titus Andronicus

Blood and Revenge--Titus Andronicus is by far Shakespeare's most violent play. Set in the later days of the Roman empire it follows a fictional succession to the throne. The play follows Titus a great Roman general who is thrown into one bad situation after another. Much blood flows and a cycle of revenge ensues and tragedy abounds.Let not your sorrow die though I am dead.Tut I have done a thousand dreadful thingsAs willingly as one would kill a fly;And nothing grieves me heartily indeedBut that I cannot do ten thousand more.
