Think you’ve got your head wrapped around Titus Andronicus? Put your knowledge to
the test. Good luck — the Stickman is counting on you!
Q. Why do Demetrius and Chiron cut out Lavinia’s tongue and chop off her hands?
So that Tamora can send them to Titus
To spite both her face and her wrists. Two birds, one stone.
So that she can’t identify them
So that they can be sacrificed to the gods
Because they’ve already got a great moose head in the living room, but they still need something for the den
Q. How does Lavinia tell her father what happened to her?
She points her arms and gestures toward Demetrius and Chiron
She writes out their names by putting a stick in her mouth
A lively game of handless charades
She has the lone witness to the event relay it to him
Q. What is in the package that Titus receives?
His daughter’s tongue and hands
His sons’ heads and his own hand
His wife’s ears and all ten toes
His first delivery from the Body Part of the Month Club
Q. How does Titus return Tamora’s sons to her?
Via pike
Via birds
Via Federal Express Priority Overnight
Via meat pie
Q. Who is left alive by the end of the play?
Titus
Tamora
Lucius
Most of the audience is spared, thank goodness
