Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Tragedy of Titus Andronicus" by William Shakespeare is a gripping and intense drama that explores themes of revenge, betrayal, and the destructive consequences of violence. Set in ancient Rome, the play follows the tragic downfall of the noble general Titus Andronicus and his family as they become embroiled in a cycle of vengeance and bloodshed. At the heart of the story is the brutal conflict between Titus Andronicus and Tamora, Queen of the Goths, whose sons are executed by Titus as retribution for their crimes. In retaliation, Tamora and her lover, Aaron the Moor, orchestrate a series of heinous acts of revenge against Titus and his family, plunging them into a spiral of madness and despair. As the body count rises and the atrocities escalate, Titus is consumed by grief and rage, leading to a climactic showdown that culminates in a shocking and tragic conclusion. Along the way, Shakespeare explores themes of honor, justice, and the nature of humanity, offering a searing indictment of the cycle of violence and the capacity for cruelty that lies within us all.

THE PROBLEM INDUCTIVELY CONSIDERED The alleged external and internal evidences for the Shakespearean authorship of Titus having thus alike collapsed on examination, it behoves us, not to give judgment by default, but to make an independent survey of the whole case in order to have a right to a final judgment. In forming our opinion it is well to face at the outset the main issue. By common consent Titus is the most horrible play in the whole Elizabethan drama. Besides a string of assassinations, it includes a human sacrifice; the slaying of a son by his father; a brutish rape committed by two princes with the consent of their mother; the cutting-out of the tongue and lopping-off of the hands of the victim, who appears on the stage immediately with her violators; the cutting off, by a trick, of one hand of her father, the central character; who in turn, having caused the violators to be bound and gagged, cuts their throats (their victim holding with her arms the basin for their blood); whereafter their heads are baked by him and his daughter in pies, of which their guilty mother partakes. To complete the odious circle, the ravished heroine had beforehand found the other woman, the Empress of Rome, in the company of a Moor, and had commented on the situation in the language of the pot-house; whence the manner of the revenge. If this play be the first work of Shakespeare, we are shut up to the conclusion that he who of all the dramatists of his age developed the most exquisite taste, began by exhibiting the very worst; that he who most profoundly spiritualised tragedy began by brutalising it beyond the utmost measure of his competitors. Is it probable? I. Preliminary Scientific Tests. Certainly the a priori improbability...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Titus Andronicus is still regarded by many as a bad play of dubious authorship. Its adversaries have abhorred its apparently gratuitous violence and uneven verse. Since 1945, however, the play has increasingly been taken seriously in both the theatre and the study: the violence and cruelty it depicts were disconcertingly matched by the events of two world wars. Alan Hughes joins those critics who take the play seriously, arguing for its unity of theme and tone and its grim humour; this is the work of a brilliant stage craftsman, confident in his handling of space, movement, and verse. The critical account of the play's fortunes is integrated within a description of major modern productions. In addition Professor Hughes supplies a complete stage history and an appendix which explores how the play might have been performed at the Rose playhouse in London, which has recently been excavated.

Eschewing the throne, he endorses Saturninus as successor, and sacrifices the Queen's son Alarbus in memory of his own, lost in the war.

Book excerpt: How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare Titus Andronicus is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1588 and 1593, probably in collaboration with George Peele. It is thought to be Shakespeare's first tragedy, and is often seen as his attempt to emulate the violent and bloody revenge plays of his contemporaries, which were extremely popular with audiences throughout the 16th century. The play is set during the latter days of the Roman Empire and tells the fictional story of Titus, a general in the Roman army, who is engaged in a cycle of revenge with Tamora, Queen of the Goths. It is Shakespeare's bloodiest and most violent work, and traditionally was one of his least respected plays; although it was extremely popular in its day, by the later 17th century it had fallen out of favour. In the Victorian era, it was disapproved of primarily because of what was considered to be a distasteful use of graphic violence, but from around the middle of the 20th century its reputation began to improve.
