Longing for Titus' big screen debut.
Abstract
This article examines the emotional imbalance inflicted upon the title character in Julie Taymor's film adaptation of Titus Andronicus. The murder and torture of his children brings to the fore Titus' longing for stability, thus urging a cognitive assessment of the impact resultant from familial destruction. His internal struggles disclose the complexities involved in balancing love and sadness, compassion and anger. By acknowledging the intertwining of dichotomous emotions, students see in the film a character that defies stereotype or strict categorization as an unfeeling murderer.
