# Titus Andronicus

By William Shakespeare.

"Titus Andronicus" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy believed to have been written between 1588 and 1593. Roman general Titus returns victorious from war with Tamora, Queen of the Goths, as his prisoner. When he sacrifices her son and she becomes empress of Rome, Tamora vows revenge against Titus and his family. What follows is a brutal cycle of violence, mutilation, and vengeance that spirals into increasingly shocking acts of retribution, making this Shakespeare's bloodiest and most visceral revenge tragedy.
