Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare audiobook.
Genre: tragedy
In ancient Rome, the celebrated general Titus Andronicus returns from war expecting peace and honor, only to find the city roiling with political ambition and fragile claims to power. When a new emperor is chosen and an enemy queen, Tamora, is brought to Rome in chains, ceremonial decisions made in the name of tradition ignite a feud that quickly spreads from the senate to the hearth. Titus, proud patriarch of a formidable household, struggles to protect his family and reputation as rival factions maneuver for influence. Tamora, newly positioned to strike back, draws on the cunning of her confidant Aaron to turn court intrigue into personal ruin. As alliances shift and loyalties fracture, Titus' daughter Lavinia and his surviving sons become targets in a conflict that feeds on public spectacle and private grief. Shakespeare drives the story forward with relentless momentum, probing how vengeance can masquerade as justice and how honor, once weaponized, can consume everyone who clings to it. Titus Andronicus is a stark, operatic portrait of a society where power is performative and mercy is perilous.
