Context
In a previous scene, Titus--in grief and madness--shot arrows with messages to the gods. The arrows landed in the compound of Saturninus, the emperor. More than that, Titus sent a local man with a message to Saturninus, accusing him of murder. More than that, a Roman noble named Aemilius brings news that Titus’ son Lucius is building an army with their enemies, the Goths. Saturninus is enraged, desperate, and ready to wreak havoc--but is calmed by Tamora, who has greater plans for revenge.
