Status Updates From Tytus Andronikus

Act 4. I'll admit this is one of the easier plays to read now I am past the first Act...

Act 3 complete. Still hoping the goths and Aaron get their comeupannace at the end of this

I really hope that Demetrius, Chiron and their mother get what is coming to them. It's Shakespeare so could go either way

Act 1 down and I am turning to Wikipedia to explain what I just read...

I do think to really understand parts of Shakespeare you also need an understanding of the Greek myths and legends. There's a line or two here about Scythia that had I only just understand thanks to Fry's series on the myths, and that has been true at other times as well

“Si pensa che tu abbia un dono speciale
Per mettere le corna”
Ma parla di me

Act 4, Scene 2

"O, why should nature build so foul a den,
Unless the gods delight in tragedies?"
