I just watched Titus again, and I must say it's much better the second time around, as with most of Shakspeare's works. On first viewing only the sum of the plot was apparent to me, but having seen it again the depth becomes apparent. How it comments on pity and revenge and what justice really is (and how it is meted out). I'll have to go and get Othello now, though, because the most heartless villain (about whom the Godlessness was impressed as well) was a Moor, and the only black character. Not being familiar with Othello I'm forced to wonder if this is a sort of common racist theme of ol' Billy's; personification of evil in the form of a black man... I dunno, we'll see, this is merely a working hypothesis.
nopantsdave:
Othello is actually based on an Italian opera. In the opera the character Othello has no name, he is always refered to as "the moor" or something along those lines. I think it is unfair to say that Shakespeare was racist, or at least to base it on Othello. I have never had anything in any of his plays jump up and shout "hey, I'm a racist bastard".

But was Othello a villian? I have always thought of him as the victim.

Titus was great, I loved the way they handled the rape scene, it could have been so cheesy, but the way they filmed it worked really well.
