The Tragedy of Titus Andronicus

Titus Andronicus may be Shakespeare's earliest tragedy; it is believed to have been written in 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 it has only recently seen its fortunes revive.The Tragedy of Titus Andronicusby William Shakespeare [Collins edition]PERSONS REPRESENTED.SATURNINUS, Son to the late Emperor of Rome, afterwards declaredEmperor.BASSIANUS, Brother to Saturninus, in love with Lavinia.TITUS ANDRONICUS, a noble Roman, General against the Goths.MARCUS ANDRONICUS, Tribune of the People, and Brother to Titus.LUCIUS, Son to Titus Andronicus.QUINTUS, Son to Titus Andronicus.MARTIUS, Son to Titus Andronicus.MUTIUS, Son to Titus Andronicus.YOUNG LUCIUS, a Boy, Son to Lucius.PUBLIUS, Son to Marcus the Tribune.AEMILIUS, a noble Roman.
