Titus's Tragic Flaws
Titus has a long list of tragic flaws including, but not limited to, being a hero of Rome, being experienced in battle, honorable, dutiful, well-respected by other Romans, and too full of emotion. The list goes on, but I think I have made my point.
Titus's "Errors In Action"
Titus's acts of hamartia stem from his tragic flaws just as everyone else's does. Titus is just coming back from war in the beginning of the play with Goth prisoners. These prisoners included the Goth Queen, her servant, and her three sons. As is Roman war ritual, one of her eldest son needed to be sacrificed, so Titus's sons killed him. I bet everyone can see where this is going. The Goth Queen swore revenge and then by chance became the Queen of Rome as well. One of Titus's sons then tried to go against Titus's wishes, so Titus killed him. This was Titus's first act of hamartia. Titus's other notable error in action is after his daughter has been abused and mutilated by an unknown person, and his sons are accused of murdering someone he lets the Queen's servant, Aaron, convince him that if he cuts off his hand and send it to the king and the king would send him his sons alive. This is Titus's other big moment of hamartia because would you believe the servant of the woman that has sworn revenge on you?
