In Titus Andronicus, his first tragedy, Shakespeare already refuses a univocal interpretation of Roman history through a reflexion upon the values embodied by the characters and the drama itself.

In Titus Andronicus, his first tragedy, Shakespeare already refuses a univocal interpretation of Roman history through a reflexion upon the values embodied by the characters and the drama itself. The action is laid out so that it excludes any dogmatic interpretation from his poetics, while the crisis of values serves the purposes of tragedy. Although Titus Andronicus opens on a celebration of heroism, it nevertheless is a systematic negation of it. On the one hand, Shakespeare stages the paradoxical tension between the praise of those values and their decay, and, on the other hand, he questions the values of the hero, defined as a soldier but also as the antique semi-god, thus anchoring his thinking in history, mythology and religion. |
