Detailed explanation-1: -Titus kills Tamora’s oldest son as revenge for the loss of some of his own children, but this only causes her to seek revenge on him. But neither does her revenge solve the matter; it only prompts Titus to seek further vengeance on her.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tamora is made empress by the new emperor Saturninus. To get back at Titus, she schemes with her lover Aaron to have Titus’s two sons framed for the murder of Bassianus, the emperor’s brother. Titus’s sons are beheaded.
Detailed explanation-3: -At the same time, we can also see that Tamora wants to destroy the Andronicus family because Titus refused to spare her eldest son’s life, even after she got on her hands and knees and begged him to.
Detailed explanation-4: -Justice leads to closure, whereas revenge leads to a never-ending cycle of more revenge. This is the ultimate reason that Titus Andronicus is a revenge tragedy, as opposed to a story of justice. The play’s entire plot is driven exclusively by revenge.
