I think this is the only Shakespeare play bloodier than Hamlet

The question is “who is this Shakespeare who can capture the rot of Rome before its fall?”

Elizabethan England loved its plays bloody and violent. Shakespeare's "Titus Andronicus" delivered what audiences of the day wanted.
" Andronicus, stain not thy tomb with blood.
Wilt thou draw near the nature of the gods?
Draw near them then in being merciful.
Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge."
Titus should have listened to Tamora.
