William Shakespeare When talking of revenge tragedy it automatically comes to mind William Shakespeare, a well known English poet and play-righter from the 16th Century[1]. Through plays as Hamlet and Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare could portrait all the basic characteristics of revenge tragedy, presenting elements that are quite similar as those from Seneca's Tragedies, establishing tragedy as a more Known genre. Shakespeare followed a same style as Seneca's tragedies and gave a huge development to the genre.
Titus Andronicus it's one of the play from Shakespeare during he goes through the madness of Titus, who wanted to take revenge on Tamora and his sons for what they did to Lavinia and Bassianus. Leading him to kill everybody that he faced in his search to satisfy himself avenging them. It can be appreciated that the main theme is Titus looking for revenge against Tamora and his sons but also there are other people who he is focused in taking vengeance, this is an element that is defined in revenge tragedy. Also the appearance of cannibalism in the last scene at the banquet and grotesque elements during the play make Titus Andronicus an outstanding reference to revenge tragedy and a clear example based on its characteristics.
