Answer:
This expert from Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus third act and first scene depicts how Titus is pleading to the Roman judges to reconsider executing his sons. He is begging the cold tribune to reconsider their decision but as they have gone, he is pleading to the “stones” as they seem warmer and less harsh that the judges. Thus, he is voicing his anguish and comparing the emperor’s cold heart with inanimate beings. Titus’ laments to the stones may border madness. However, he may be addressing the audience to arouse their sympathy.
