Character Relationships in Titus

Titus Andronicus (played by Anthony Hopkins) is a protagonist in Titus. Roman general returning victorious from war. Refuses the imperial throne but kills his son Mutius for disobeying him. After his remaining sons are executed and his own hand is severed, he feigns madness to orchestrate a brutal revenge against Tamora and her sons, ultimately killing his daughter Lavinia and Tamora before being slain by Saturninus. Tamora (played by Jessica Lange) is a protagonist in Titus. Queen of the Goths captured by Rome and later married to Emperor Saturninus. After Titus sacrifices her eldest son Alarbus, she schemes with Aaron and her sons Chiron and Demetrius to rape and mutilate Lavinia and frame Titus's heirs. Disguised as supernatural spirits, she is ultimately tricked into eating a pie made from her sons and is killed by Titus. Chiron (played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers) appears in Titus. One of Tamora's two remaining sons and a sadistic enforcer. He participates in the ambush and brutal rape and mutilation of Lavinia alongside his brother Demetrius. Later captured by Titus, who kills him by cutting his throat and uses his flesh to bake a pie served to his mother. Demetrius (played by Matthew Rhys) appears in Titus. Tamora's other son and Chiron's accomplice. He collaborates in the murder of Bassianus and the horrific rape and mutilation of Lavinia. Like his brother, he is captured by Titus, executed, and his remains are cooked into a pie served to Tamora as part of the Andronici's revenge. Quintus (played by Kenny Doughty) appears in Titus. Aaron (played by Harry Lennix) appears in Titus. A Moor and lover to Tamora. He masterminds the ambush and rape of Lavinia, frames Titus's sons for Bassianus's murder, and hides his own mixed-race infant. Captured by Lucius, he confesses all crimes to save his child. Ultimately buried alive in the arena, remaining unrepentant to the end. Lucius (played by Angus Macfadyen) appears in Titus. Titus's only surviving son who flees Rome after his brothers' execution. He returns leading a Gothic army to besiege the city. Capturing Aaron, he forces a confession to save his half-brother. After the bloody feast, Lucius kills Saturninus, avenges his father, and is proclaimed Emperor, ordering proper burials for the fallen. Martius (played by Colin Wells) appears in Titus.
