I could go on about Titus for hours. It's one of my favorites and I would love to answer this question for you, but I won't because I have a feeling this is a homework assignment. I can, however, help you answer it for yourself. Look at these choices that Titus made early on in the play that didn't turn out so well for him (or his family):
He kills his son for being disobedient. He gives his daughter to Saturninus in marriage (though that's not what ends up happening). He makes an even greater enemy of Tamora by ignoring her pleas for her son's life. And let's not forget that he chooses Saturninus to be Emporer... BIG MISTAKE.
Read the play to find out WHY these turn out to be mistakes... you won't regret it.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Did you watch the action photo 'Titus' with Anthony Hopkins? it truly is extremely sturdy. His tragic flaw, highly on the starting up up of the play, replaced into his devotion to the Roman custom of handing the emperor's crown each of ways right down to the eldest son. for that reason, the eldest son, Saturnine, is an total glaring jacka.ss and Titus chosen to forget with reference to the reality. Titus had a suited chance to position his help on the lower back of Bassianus - the virtuous son, although the more effective youthful - or perchance knew that Lavinia and Bassianus were in love (which means he might want to have made Lavinia a queen on the similar time), yet he replaced into this way of fool for custom that he brainlessly supported the evil son. So i anticipate you want to declare Titus is likewise a adverse choose of personality - any fool should be confident that Bassianus can make a much more effective perfect emperor than his spoiled, whiney older brother.

Did you watch the movie 'Titus' with Anthony Hopkins? It's really good.
His tragic flaw, especially at the beginning of the play, was his devotion to the Roman tradition of handing the emperor's crown down to the eldest son. In this case, the eldest son, Saturnine, is a total obvious jacka.ss and Titus chose to ignore the fact. Titus had a perfect opportunity to put his support behind Bassianus - the virtuous son, though the younger - and even knew that Lavinia and Bassianus were in love (that means he could have made Lavinia a queen at the same time), but he was such a fool for tradition that he brainlessly supported the evil son. So I guess you could say Titus is also a poor judge of character - any idiot could see that Bassianus would make a much better emperor than his spoiled, whiney older brother.

That he was the main character in one of Shakespeare's least popular plays.

You don't need to worry about such questions. The play is not a tragedy but a gorefest.

I think it is noble belief in Roman. Tamora uses this loyality to systematically destroy him.

Yet again, it's a play, not a "book".
