Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare

"Titus Andronicus" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written between 1588 and 1593. After a victorious Roman general presents the captured Queen of the Goths as a slave to the new emperor, she becomes empress and vows revenge for the death of her son. What follows is a devastating cycle of violence involving murder, mutilation, and betrayal that consumes both families. Considered Shakespeare's first tragedy, this bloody revenge play explores the brutal consequences of vengeance taken to its darkest extremes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
