Context
Lavinia, the daughter of Titus, was raped and maimed by Chiron and Demetrius (the sons of Tamora, now married to the Roman Emperor). Like the mythical figures of Lucrece and Philomel, her tongue was cut out so that she could not name her attackers; they also cut off her hands, so that she could not write their names. In this scene, Lavinia realizes that she can explain to her father and uncle what happened to her, using the classical textbooks of her young nephew.
