Titus Andronicus and Tamora: Revenge and “The Law of the Boomerang”

Abstract

Almost everyone has heard the name William Shakespeare. Many have read his plays, sonnets, and all his creations that are so valuable and important, interesting and comprehensive. Which topic is chosen by this or that person, which they consider most important, already depends on the reader, their thinking, views, and ideas. The topic of this research is Titus Andronicus. Why choose this play? Other plays that are no less interesting caught my attention, but in Titus Andronicus, we can see something that could be judged. At all times, especially in ancient times, revenge led to many conflicts or wars. Brother killed brother for revenge; no one trusted anyone. Revenge is the main focus of this research. The law of the boomerang” says it all. This research explores the justification of the revenge of the characters, Tamora and Titus, and their ruthless behavior. Even today, we can see revenge in its various forms but with less cruelty, since the law deters people from similar conduct.
