Setting:
Rome, The Tomb of the ANDRONICI.
Characters:
Titus Andronicus, Saturninus, Bassianus
Events:
Titus Andronicus is going to be elected to be the emperor of Rome, however, Saturninus and Bassianus (Titus Andronicus friends) are arguing about who should become emperor of Rome between them both.
Themes:
Acceptance – the action of consenting to receive or undertake something offered.
Quotation:
‘Marcus Andronicus, so I do ally’
‘In thy uprightness and integrity,’
‘And so I love and honour thee and thine,’
Explanations:
This is Saturninus and Bassianus explaining why they should become emperor, but instead they are arguing over who should become emperor. They don’t think that Titus Andronicus should be emperor, they don’t think his worthy.

Nemare, this is a very well structured summary. Nice work. You have captured the narrative well.
Targets:
1) Ensure that your events section is structured chronologically (sequenced as they happen in the text).
2) Your explanation is a little bit off. The words used by Shakespeare are very positive toward Marcus Andronicus (integrity, uprightness, love, honour). I am not sure that they are completely against Titus if they speak so highly of his brother.
