Shakespeare, Slightly Abridged: Titus Andronicus
uuntiedshoelace for Lavinia Andronicus
WARNING: This character gets sexually assaulted, and her hands and tongue cut off so she can't easily identify her vile abusers.
Lavinia is the only girl born to Titus out of 26 other siblings. She is a properly brought up girl so she rarely questions what is done around her, because that was the way things were done back then. She is smart and resourceful, granted these traits do not surface until she has been brutalized and mangled beyond repair.
(Will need a death sound from this character, keeping in mind that she doesn't have a tongue, so fit it into the end of your recording please, her throat is cut, but she knows it's coming, a mercy killing.)
(She is with her fiancee and they happen upon Aaron and Tamora lying together in the forest. She is saucy with them.)
"Your moor and you, Are singled forth to try experiments...This valley fits the purpose passing well."(You are begging Tamora on your knees to kill you quickly rather than let her sons have their way with you.)
"O Tamora be called a gentle Queen,And with thine own hands kill me in this place,For tis not life that I have begged so long,Poor I was slain when Bassianus died....Tis present death I beg. And one thing moreThat womanhood denies my tongue to tell.(You are being dragged away by the prince's to be assaulted and mangled. These are some of the last sounds you will ever make. You may do any variations that you wish, I just need anguish and totally loss in you voice.)
*whimpers, that grow into screams as you realize that there is no way to escape.*
*"No's!" can grow in the volume*
*Begging for anything but this...*
