Abstract

The article discusses the division of Shakespeare's play "Titus Andronicus" into sections based on word count and the frequency of certain words. The author compares the sections of the play to works by George Peele and the Shakespeare First Folio plays. The analysis suggests that the cannibalism scene at the end of the play was likely written by Peele rather than Shakespeare. The article also explores the different usage of certain words between Peele and Shakespeare. The correlation between the word counts and the separation of sections associated with Peele and Shakespeare is highlighted. The author concludes that compassion is a characteristic of Shakespeare's writing, while its absence is seen in Peele's work. [Extracted from the article]
