OK, so we had to be on the side of the Furies the other day. I understand why they're mad and I agree with it, but I'm also on the side of Orestes. I mean, his mom sells him when he's young and she kills his dad. He was mad. What else could he do? Well I don't think he should have killed her, he could've hired someone to kidnap her or something and then he could take the throne. I think killing her was a little harsh. But I understand that he was really upset, and people do things that they regret when they're upset.
But I can also see Clytaemnestra's side. Her husband sacrificed their only daughter so he could go fight a stupid war. Men are so selfish sometimes! I really do not blame her for doing what she did. I think any mother would agree with me. But I think the thing that pushed her over the edge was when he came home after being at war for 10 years, and he has a war bride with him!!! Can you say scumbag?? I think I would have flipped too.
So I can see both sides.
