Have you ever said to yourself, “Wow, I really wish there was a handy way to keep track of all the deaths in Titus Andronicus”? Well, are you ever in luck! I am here unveiling the first ever Good Tickle Brain deathographic! (It’s like an infographic, but with more death.)
Starting with Alarbus and proceeding clockwise, this chart gives you a chronological rundown of who gets killed when, and by whom. Print a copy out and bring it along the next time you go to a performance of Titus, to help you keep track of where you are in the play.
Too bad it’s 13 deaths or we could really make it into a clock.
It would work if you left out the hand (which is, after all, technically not a person), assuming that Quintus/Martius and Chiron/Demetrius both count as one…
I’m toying with the idea of making this a clock, in which case the severed hands (including Lavinia’s) would be… you know… the CLOCK’S HANDS.
