I loved this play! I never knew Shakespeare could have been this dark and deep. Every act was twisted with plots of deviance. Titus intrigued my reading, I loved his ability to stay true to what he truly honored and believed. This play was a true masterpiece between Good and Evil. Throughout reading this play I realized that in some deep way it was God verses Satan. In that the little boy whom I believe is to be God or Jesus verses Aaron, the Moor, who is Satan.
Aaron is crafty and wicked to the core. His corrupt ways bringing down everyone he comes into contact with making him happier with every life he ruins. The little boy is truly innocence and goodwill making no mistakes I see throughout the play or movie. He can be protrayed as God or Christ in that he never has a sinful act or thought in the play or movie. The boy also is like Christ or God in that in the movie he walks away with Aaron’s son and that is a sign of God saving His lost children from darkness and sin of this world. I know this a long shot but I really felt this in reading the play.
I know Shakespeare did have some Christianity in his background; maybe this could be what he was conveying in a sense. My favorite part of the play was the way that Lavinia stood up to the evil Goth Queen, Tamora in the woods in(Act 2, Scene 2, lines 60-163).
An amazing display of courage from a little, frail young woman defending herself from a devil of a woman in Tamora. The words exchanged between the two are deep, piercing two-edged swords slashing through the hearts of each woman. I built a hatred for Tamora she like Aaron is the root of all evil. I know it would have been unlady like for Lavinia to physically attack Tamora; but I would have loved to see her try. The best chracter in the play would have to be Titus amazing wit and strength.
The Essay on Frankenstein Versus Prometheus Play God
Frankenstein Versus Prometheus What do a god and a crazy doctor have in common Nothing right! Wrong! In the stories Prometheus and Frankenstein the protagonists are very alike in many ways. They both tried to play god, steal, and they both get punished for what they did. In the stories Prometheus and Frankenstein the protagonists both tried to play God in their own way. They did this by trying to ...
This man was truly unpredictable kept me on my toes throughout the whole play. Even though the ending of the play was the most digusting display of violence I have ever seen, but sheer brilliance. Never will I ever see revenge taken by cooking a human-pie and as a result shattering a whole family. The weakest character in the play in my opinion was Saturninus unable to make up his own mind and rule Rome. He looked to Tamora to plan act out the evil desires of his heart because he was not man enough to follow his evil intentions. Instead he enjoyed watching Tamora do the dirty work.
The only time during the play in which Saturninus shows any courage or sense of being a man is when he kills Titus;for killing his wife, Tamora. Question :What would have happened if Aaron’s son was killed? I feel if they would have killed Aaron’s son that they would have been haunted with Aaron’s spirit forever and all hell would have broke loose. Aaron had the kind of evil ability to destroy anything and everything. Keeping Aaron’s son alive also could play a part in that evil lives forever, but I like to think that his son would be the exact opposite of evil; maybe a black Jesus!.
