Wow. This suddenly got really compelling in Act 3 out of nowhere. I guess Shakespeare just woke up halfway through? Absurd comedy juxtaposed with unrelenting, gruesome tragedy. Fascinated by how quickly Titus changes, from cruel victor to grief-stricken father to mad revenger. Lavinia, Aaron and Tamora are so interesting, and I love the rich intertextuality. Collapsing binaries! Human/animal, civilisation/wilderness!
