Why children?' he asked. 'Why always children? For love to end where it begins is far more beautiful, and Nature knows it.

About This Quote

In his play, "Titus Andronicus," Shakespeare offers a brilliant exploration on the subject of love. In this play, Titus is a general in Rome who has been sent on a mission by his evil stepfather, Saturninus. Titus is given a choice: he can either kill his mother and sister or rape his sister. This choice is presented to Titus as a test to see if he truly loves his family.

The responses of the characters in the play illustrate the emotional toll that falling in love has on our relationships with others. The characters in "Titus Andronicus" demonstrate that falling in love is the most important relationship we will ever have because it ties us to all other relationships we will ever have. In other words, falling in love makes us who we are and changes our lives forever.
