In 1927, T. S. Eliot points out Seneca’s presence on the Elizabethan stage so as to find out the theatrical mechanisms of what he calls «the penetration of Senecan sensibility» in Shakespeare’s works. This essay takes Eliot’s words as a starting point in order to disclose the dramatic strategies by which the so-called Senecan sensibility strengthens the structure of disorder that pervades Titus Andronicus.
