Titus Andronicus

by Titus Andronicus

Titus Andronicus may be Shakespeare's earliest tragedy; it is believed to have been written sometime between 1584 and the early 1590s. It depicts a Roman general who is engaged in a cycle of revenge with his enemy Tamora, the Queen of the Goths. The play is by far Shakespeare's bloodiest work. It lost popularity during the Victorian era because of its gore, and has only recently begun to revive its fortunes.

I read this for a course where the main focus is Philomela's myth. I liked this text's relation to it, but otherwise it wasn't that standing out for me. (And that's okay)
To my mind, Shakespeare has more profound, better paced works than this.

This is a criminally underrated piece: a bit raw but majestically written. Shakespeare never disappoints.
