Monsters In Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus

In the play, Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare, certain characters to be classified as “monsters” are Aaron, Tamora, and Titus because throughout the play, they have done monstrous acts towards others.. Although there are monstrous characters, there is still a character to be classified as innocent is Lavinia because of everything she had to go through. Overall, all the characters are all tributes towards the tragedy of the play's event because either way, all their actions leads up to this sad closing ending of the play.
One of the most dangerous characters in the whole play would be Aaron. Aaron has been known to be involved with harming Titus’s family and finding enjoyments out of it, and does not feel ashamed of his own actions,
