The characters of this play seem, in a sense, to rise out some theme
and accordingly to have, among all of their dramatic solidity a further
meant that is almost symbolic. Cassandra is, as is, the
the incarnation of that knowledge of which Herodotus describes as the crown
you are distressed, the knowledge that he/she sees and it warns and you/he/she cannot help (Hdt. ix. 16).
Same Agamemnon, King's King, triumphant and convict is a symbol
in the pride and the autumn of the pride. We don't have to think about him as bad or
especially cruel. The overseer loved him (the ll. 34 fs.), and the lamentations
of the Elders on his/her death has one note of the personal affection (the pp. 66
ff.). But I suspect that Aeschyluses, a believer in the mystical meaning of
names, taken the name Agamemnon to be a warning that [Greek: the mimnei of Aga],
"the Anger not seen bears." _Aga_, precisely is not clearly anger; it is
more as Nemesis, the feeling that anything is [Greek: the agan], "also
very", the sentence of _Hubris_ (pride or luxuriant vegetation) and of everybody
things that are in excess. _Aga_ has called "the jealousy of sometimes
God", but such translation is not happy. It is not the jealousy, neither
also the indignation, of a personal God but the deep repudiation and
inversion of Hubris that is the a lot of law of the Cosmos. Through all the
the conqueror's triumph, this _Aga_ bears.
The greatest and the most greater part of human character of the whole play are Clytemnestra.
You is conceived on the great staircase of Aeschylean a staircase that also does,
Mrs. Macbeth and Beatrice Cenci seem small; she is anymore his/her relative of
Brynhild. Still she is not only full of character, but of the thin psychology.
You are the first one and principal example of that time-honoured the ornament of the
tragic stage, the comprehensive or seed-comprehensive one, heroin-criminal.
