Shakespeare's tragedy in which Titus Andronicus, Rome's noble soldier of many years, takes violent revenge upon the men who raped his daughter and killed his sons, and calls for curses upon Rome itself.
The noble Titus returns victorious to Rome bringing Tamora, Queen of the Goths, as his captive. When one of Tamora's sons is condemned to die, she vows revenge and, aided by the villianous Aaron, she exacts a terrible retribution, inaugurating a grim cycle of rape, murder, and cannibalism. This macabre, often brilliant tragedy comes from the earliest stage of Shakespeare's dramatic career.
