Today’s Totally Random
Lines
Why, there they are both, baked in that
pie;
Whereof thier mother daintily hath fed,
Eating the flesh that she herself hath
bred.
‘Tis true, ‘tis true; witness my knife’s
sharp point.
Titus
Titus Andronicus
Act V, Scene iii, Line
62
Yes, that’s
right, Titus killed Tamora’s two adult sons and baked them in a pie. But don’t
worry – Tamora doesn’t have to grieve over it very long, because the next line
is Titus stabbing her to death. Then the line after that is Saturninus killing
Titus, followed by Lucius killing Saturninus. Oh, and let’s not forget that
before this all got started Titus kicked things off by killing his own daughter.
Thankfully
though, that’s the end of the killing. The last page and a half of this play is
speechifying and commiseration, as the survivors get set to pick up the pieces
and carry on.
And there you have
it: Titus Andronicus.
Yikes!
