Status Updates From Tytus Andronikus

oh boy

been reading this for like a week but didnt know if i was gonna stick to it

oh

They all be kissing

It’s nice that Titus cuts off his own hand because he feels bad for Lavinia

this is the most boring thing ever

Holy fuck this okay is DENSE

Drama and revenge and Shakespeare

just read my last review and happy to share I will be using Titus in my thesis

WTF 😃

is this unnecessarily violent?
none of the sides are redeemable, am i supposed to be for anyone and against the other?

so repulsive

“Why there they are both, baked in that pie; whereof their mother daintily hath fed, eating the flesh that she herself hath bred.”
Goodness me that’s so brutal..

It's becoming increasingly apparent to me that I know absolutely nothing about Roman history and I keep getting the names mixed up

this sucks. I was hoping it would be a little lighter but no, its murder and assault on every page. This might actually beat Othello for my least favourite shakespeare reading experience. Im determined to finish it at some point but Im so close to dnf this garbage.

"...Throughout the play, the response to the intolerable is ritualized, in language and action, because ritual is the ultimate means by which man seeks to order and control his precarious and unstable world.'” - D.J. Palmer

rereading as i write my essay :p

Guys Harney and Sons Chocolate Mint tea with Chobani vanilla coffee creamer is one of the most delicious substances on the planet idgaf about Shakespeare I’m all in on drinking diluted artisan ice cream flavors

i hate tamora with all my being and i love shakespeare for delivering such a gruesome play

tuller duuuuu D: WHEREFORE???

Good soup

"What mean'st thou, Aaron? wherefore didst thou this?" giving "ah, c'mon bro, seriously???" energy.

Han drepte en jordmor

"(Aside) Now, what a thing it is to be an ass!" huh???

Men han er en så utrolig snill og god far mot dattera si, holy shit lissom? er dette samme bro som drepte sønnen sin bare fordi? Det varmer hjertet mitt da, ho fortjener at noen er snille mot ho, stakkars jente, etter det ho opplevde 😭😭😭😭 Shakespeare er overraskende forsiktig og omtenksom rundt disse temaene for å være fra 1588

Titus er jo mer gæærn enn Hamlet 😮

Spoiler af:

VENT HÆ SIER AARON TIL DEM AT DE SKAL VOLDTA LAVINIA ELLER FORSTÅR JEG DENNE DELEN FEIL????? HAN OPPMUNTRER DEM BOKSTAVELIG TIL Å TA HENNE MED INN I SKOGEN DER DEN ER
"(...)ruthless, dreadful, deaf and dull;
There speak, and strike, brave boys, and take your turns;
There serve your lust, shadow'd from heaven's eye,
And revel in Lavinia's treasury" HELE SITATET ER VERRE MEN LISSOM HERREGUD
