| Description | This chapter describes Titus speeches of what strikes us now as turgid. For instance, the famous mixed metaphor in Hamlet great soliloquy, of taking arms against a sea of trouble, as an indication of Hamlet perturbed state of mind. So, in Shakespeare and other Elizabethan dramatists, violent emotions are expressed. But there are splendid dramatic touches in the treatment of Titus. Now, in the character of Aaron, Shakespeare seems to have made a great, if only partially successful, attempt to humanize the ordinary stage villain or monster, as then rendered, even by so great a man as Marlowe. The Renaissance indeed, while inaugurating a great artistic and intellectual revival, seems to have had the effect of almost annihilating conscience. It is a long step from Titus Andronicus to The Luck of Roaring Camp; but we have in both an instance of the softening influence of helpless childhood on rough and even evil natures.
