The Complete Titus Andronicus

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on unrelenting violence and horror, this revenge tragedy explores themes of brutality and revulsion, distinguishing itself from others in the genre. The characters, particularly Aaron and Titus, draw parallels with figures like Iago and Lear, yet the play's pervasive bloodshed challenges the notion of catharsis typically associated with revenge. The stark, purposeless violence has led some scholars to question Shakespeare's authorship, highlighting the play's controversial nature and its departure from traditional narrative expectations.
