Line 2:
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: It's possible partially to exonerate Tamora, on the grounds that her child (Alarbus) has been brutally killed after pleading for mercy. Her instructing her sons to rape and dismember Lavinia is tit for tat (''see'' [[Not So Different]], ''below''), and most of the other atrocities are committed by Aaron.

* [[What an Idiot!]]: Really, Saturninus? You think it's a good idea to marry a defeated enemy who has sworn revenge right in front of you and elevate her to empress? And then convict the two sons of the man responsible for her son's death based on one piece of evidence that this revenge-sworn Queen of the Goths gave you?
** This is justified since Saturninus is potrayed though out the play as an arrogant dumbass.
