Shakespeare, William. Titus Andronicus / by William Shakespeare. New York: The Folger Shakespeare Library, 2005.
Summary: A play about the rise and fall of Roman rulers and their close friends and family during a fictional period of time. Titus Androncius, a Roman general and war hero, is the main character. Saturninus is chosen as Emperor. A sequence of events leads these two and other related characters in a clash that leaves most of these characters dead. Use-value: Titus Andronicus is an exhibit source. It will be used to pursue this line of questioning: Was the character Saturninus ever fit to rule? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Value of included assignments: Presentation notes - This has helped me understand the plot events in Act III.
