Synopsis
Titus Andronicus, a victorious Roman general, returns home from war with his family and captives including Tamora, Queen of the Goths. He orders the eldest son of Tamora to be executed as an appeasement to the Roman dead. Titus refuses the crown offered to him, instead nominating Saturninus, the last ruler's elder son. However, Saturninus, in a fit of spite against his brother Bassianus, demands the hand of Titus' daughter Lavinia in marriage. When Bassianus, Lavinia, and some of Titus' sons protest and flee, Titus slays one of his own sons to stand against them. Tamora vows revenge against Titus after marrying Saturninus. The story then spirals into a cycle of revenge, filled with gruesome acts including tongues being cut out, limbs severed, rape, adultery, and cannibalism.
