Central to the gratuitous violence is Lavinia's rape and multilation. Despite the traditional view, however, Lavinia is more than a tennis ball which is whirled away by fate. To be sure, external forces such as Saturninus' wooing in spite of her betrothal to Bassianus and revengeful Tamora's becoming a queen are important. But it is Livinia who whets Tamora's vengeance by castigating her extramarital affairs with Aaron. And besides, it is she who publicly disgraces and infuriates Saturninus by seemingly accepting his offer of marriage and then casting him away on Bassianus' claim. Thus, far from just being an innocent victim, Lavinia is responsible for her agony.}, pages = {105--115}, title = {Not I, my lord, sith true nobility Warrants these words in princely courtesy : Titus Andronicusに於けるLaviniaの苦悶の責任}, volume = {8}, year = {2003} }
