I would also like to take your time and energy to voice something that I

have found after reading some other reviews and summaries of the play. It

seems that many view this play as Shakespeare’s worst and it has even drawn

the comment that it is a “play loved by ignorant audiences ” I would like

to respond to that by making an analogy that Shakespeare’s Othello to Titus

is just like comparing The excellent movie, American Beauty to The Rock’s

The Rundown. The two movies are to vastly different types of movie. Yet

the Two movies can both be called good movies in their own aspect. Beauty

has moments that touch you and make you think. Rundown has The Rock

executing Pile drivers upon Brazilian bandits. Both are equally

entertaining to watch. One’s tastes depend on what they choose, but to make

the generalization that Titus is only appreciated by ignorant audiences? I

ask you, would an ignorant audience member truly appreciate Christopher

Walken’s monologue about the tooth fairy? I think not. To say that the

ignorant audience likes Titus is making a generalization that is all too

dangerous. Titus gave Stephan King a run for his money. And, like the

tooth fairy monologue, it had some moments that were quite enjoyable to

watch. So, in short if one likes the play. That is great. If not. That is

fine too. But if one was to generalize an entire group of happy

theatergoers? That is just Bad mojo.
