Titus Andronicus

by William Shakespeare

Translated by François Guizot

"Titus Andronicus" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written between 1588 and 1593. Roman general Titus returns from war with Gothic prisoners, including Queen Tamora, whom the new emperor takes as his wife. When Titus sacrifices Tamora's son, she vows revenge from her position of power. What follows is a brutal cycle of vengeance involving murder, mutilation, and unspeakable acts of cruelty. This early Shakespeare work explores the darkest depths of human violence and retribution in ancient Rome.
