On Shakespeare's Titus and Law Knicks: The Tragedy of Human Nature
It is true that today, I must use the words of the translator Zhu Sheng to remind people of the treasures he left for China literature.

In the history of world literature, it is enough to cover a lifetime, and it is a master of poetry and the crown of poets. Just Homer in Greece, Dante in Italy, Shakespeare in England, Goethe in Germany ... but in transcending time and space, Shakespeare's achievements are far above the third son. '

-Introduction to translation sequence

So I opened titus Andronicus, one of Shakespeare's early works, so as not to let people go into a distant country-Rome and experience a heinous crime, only to think that this is really a terrible tragedy that destroys human nature.

I said, if the triumphal movement can put power above the monarch, then General Titus, who has struggled for the cause of Rome all his life, should listen to the parliament and live in the grave for his 22 sons in vain, so as not to end in tragedy.

Let's look at the first act of the story. It was a victory for Rome. General Titus returned and refused to give up the throne.

Then the second act is hunting in the forest. Lavinia suffered humiliation, lost his virginity, his hand was cut off, and his brother was framed.

Look at the third act, the Roman trial, Lucius was exiled; Titus was cheated into losing his left hand.

Look at the fourth scene, which is Titus Garden. Lavinia explained his experience with Metamorphosis. Titus knew the answer to her daughter's humiliation and started her revenge plan.

Finally, in the fifth act, Lucius, who was exiled, led the Goths back to prepare to attack Rome; Titus gave a banquet at the Red Gate, pleading with Tamora, Allen and others for revenge after committing crimes, and personally killed lavinia, who was humiliated badly, and died himself; His son Lucius succeeded to the throne.

This is about Shakespeare's Titus and Laonix.

However, it is such a drama that exposes the dark human nature behind Roman politics, and exposes the original sin of human beings and stifles truth, goodness and beauty with the humiliation suffered by lavinia, the pain of titus's broken arm and the irrelevance between Tamora and Allen.

So titus and Laonix are doomed to be human tragedies.
