Pass!” (act 1scene 2) this quote shows us that he did not want to talk to the soothsayer

    Act 2 Scene 1 For this scene I chose the song “Lean On Me” by Bill Withers. I chose this song because it talks about how when you need a friend during bad times in your life to help you‚ they’ll be there. A quotation from the song that proves this is: ”Lean on me‚ when you’re not strong And I’ll be your friend‚ I’ll help you carry on.” this connects to the scene because Sebastian needed someone to be there for him to help him in his time of need and sorrow. Antonio offers to help Sebastian even though

    I have chosen to close read Act V‚ Scene iii as I believe it is the most significant scene in the play. The language forms‚ thematical inclusions and possibilities for staging all add to its importance. Titus Andronicus is often called “Shakespeare’s bloodiest spectacle” and this is one of the most gruesome conclusions written. The scene in question is the moment when everyone is together at Titus’s Roman
