He uses body politic, not only as a way to emphasize certain points, but also as a key theme and plot line. The play begins as Titus, a revered war hero, returns from battle with his captives: the Goth queen, her three sons, her servant, and other various Goths. He immediately orders the killing of the queen’s son, and refuses to show mercy. Titus’s sons “hew his limbs [into the fire] till they be clean consumed.” ()This is a gruesome scene, but it is not the only scene that involves dismemberment in the play. In the second act, Titus’s daughter, Lavinia, is raped and physically mutilated so that she cannot reveal her assailants. They cut off her hands and tongue to ensure that she could not communicate with anyone. Lavinia remains extremely important to the play after her assault, because, unlike other characters who suffer similar fates as her, she lives through her torture and becomes a somewhat permanent presence on stage until she is killed in the final scenes of the play. This presence serves as a reminder of what her assailants have done and an indication of the chaos that the characters have caused. Lavinia’s rape marks the beginning of a downward

He started to get nervous, even with his chi blocked by the containment collar, he could still feel her chi. It was like nothing he had ever felt before, stronger than Lilith’s chi while encountering her with horns. The woman called Renee, stopped at Isaac’s cell. He started to shake as he looked her straight into the eye. She had cold red eyes, which felt as if she was staring through his soul. She didn’t say anything, she just kept on staring.

Instead her attackers were shrieking and blindly stabbing into the darkness, trying to attack the one attacking them. The woman dropped to her knees in terror, but Jessie never dropped her gaze. One by one the attackers fell to the cacophony of bones snapping, blood splattering against the stone walls, and howls of agony. The 'hero's' cloak swept around his body as he fought them, the edges of it stained in their blood, and in the distant moonlight Jessie could just make out his face - the deep blue eyes devoid of any light, warmth, or

He told himself that he had to get up, but his pain was too harsh. He turned around to find a three Hessians not too far away. They got closer so Jonathan revealed himself and pleaded them not to shoot. Instead, they took him as prisoner. They did not speak any English which made it hard for him to comprehend what they were saying. Therefore, he didn't know what they were going to do to him. What he didn't know is that they weren't planning on killing him. They ended up walking him to what looked like a small, abandoned house. Jonathan supposed that was where they were going to sleep. He saw that a cow needed milking so he went to the shed where he found a little boy by himself. He showed the boy to the soldiers but they didn't pay much attention. He tried asking the boy where his parents were but he didn't answer. The boy led him to a field where his parents were dead on the ground. He decided that the best thing to do was to bury them. But, he knew that he couldn't do it alone. He begged the youngest soldier to help him dig a hole and he did. It took a while but they finally buried the boy’s parents and headed back to the house. The oldest soldier tied Jonathan’s ankle to himself and everybody fell asleep. He realized that he can untie the knot and escape. That’s exactly what he did. He grabbed the boy and ran away from the house and hoped to find his way back home. He was very unsure of himself until he found eight men around a fire. He got closer and one man turned around. It was the Corporal. The Americans surrounded him with excitement and joy. But quickly realized that he was the one that could lead them to the Hessians. They told him to lead the way but the Corporal said that he went there the day before where he saw Patriots who killed the boy’s parents. They went to the house and Jonathan was forced to check if they were sleeping. They were sleeping but he woke them up to warn them. The Americans told them to

Blood from his scalp drips down his forehead As he takes another deep breath, trying to keep his tired eyes open because he knew As soon As he close them it would be his last; he will never be able to open them again.

The solider approaching him was a fellow marine, PFC Richardson, a pal of his he met while in training.

Two figures dance around each other, both in crude armor. One wields a machete the other had a spear. The crowd screams at them to spill blood. Around them fallen bodies lay, their blood seeping into the hot sand. Neither attacks. The screaming continues. A large fruit soars through the air and hits the sand. It breaks open and spills its rotting meat in a pop of juice. More projectiles follow before one hits the swordsman. The spear wielder lunges and pierces the opponent through the abdomen. The tip of the spear sticks out from the swordsman’s back. The audience is silent for a moment, while the swordsman gags and tries to attack the spear wielder. Then they erupt, screams and cheers filling the air. The spear wielder rips the spear out and
