Titus Andronicus

I love Julie Taymor's version of the play.
The scene where Titus pleaded to the Roman nobles for his sons's lives was splendid. At least it moved me.

It is weird that there were many weird and not historically accurate settings.
But it is very powerful somehow. It was like a raw meat market, where the blood was the only flavor, the emotion ran its nakedest course.

I do believe Harold Bloom said in his book, the Western Canon, that story moved the readers, it is not a matter of moral. It is the reader who will materialize, and crystallize the things they read. The moral was then formed. But it is not in the material itself.
