Agamemnon get his comeuppance

5 stars

I saw this play as a child so I have vivid mental images of how it plays out. (e.g. Agamemnon had 10 gallons of blood in him.) I'm not sure I have ever met a person on Agamemnon's side in any story he has appeared in. In the Iliad he seems less than honorable. He murders his child for wind. Clytemnestra seems pretty justified in her hatred of him, although maybe brutally murdering him and usurping the throne was a bit much... although he did murder a child. The murder of Cassandra is probably Clytemnestra's true crime, although the rest of this story is focused on Agamemnon. There are no neat answers in these plays, which is probably why we are still discussing them today.
