Point: Shakespeare uses metaphors to show revenge in Titus Andronicus. This is shown when Titus says Tamora’s son will die.
Example: In Act 1 Scene 1 he says ‘ to this your son is mark’d, and die he must.
Explanation: This metaphor shows us that despite the fact that Tamora is pleading for her eldest son to spare his life. He believes that her son has killed so many of his children he probably has the right to kill her son.

Good stuff Albion. You have identified a metaphor successfully.
Target:
1) You need to explain the metaphor fully. For example, what does it really mean to be ‘mark’d’.
