For by my soul, were there worse end than death,

That end upon them should be executed.

-Saturninus

Titus Andronicus                   Act II, Scene iii, Line 303

 

Yikes! It doesn’t sound too good for Titus’s two sons, Quintus and Martius, who’ve been found in a pit with the murdered body of Saturninus’s brother. Of course, we know that the two sons are innocent, but I’m not sure that’s going to matter much. Just about everyone ends up dying in this play anyway. 

This is Will’s stab at a slasher film/play. A little out of character for him; don’t you think?


And here we have the exact opposite of the brothers' fates. Nothin' but blue African skies and beautiful clouds over a built-in pool with a backdrop of the endless African plains. Yup, I'm doing a little better than Quintus and Martius, that's for sure.
