Aeschylus The Oresteia
“The Oresteia” is a brilliant piece of work written by Aeschylus which has three incredible plays. The main focus of “The Oresteia” is about the termination of the spell cast by the House of Atreus. It all began with the king, “Agamemnon” killing his own fleshing blood, Iphigenia. Because Agamemnon killed Iphigenia, Clytemnestra who was the mother of Iphigenia and the wife of Agamemnon grew quite heated and at the moment wanted to take her husband’s life. In addition to that, Agamemnon cheated on Clytemnestra by bringing Cassandra, the princess of Troy when he made his triumphant return from the Trojan War. However, this wasn’t a happy return for Agamemnon but rather a dejected one because this was a return that his wife has been waiting all

this time. In “The Oresteia”, Aeschylus shows the vague vs graceful accompanied by the subject of the delicacy of human life and the comprehensiveness of anguish.
The vague vs graceful are a significant theme of The “Oresteia” and are used throughout the play.
At first, Athena determines the clashes of the Oresteia with a vague judgment that appears to fulfill all gatherings included. Then again, in any clash, no less than one gathering must make presents to progress in the direction of a determination. Athena accomplishes her dumbfounding come about by deceiving Apollo to believe that he has gotten absolute triumph in judgment and by offering compensatory forces to the Erinyes, therefore making a dream of fulfillment for all among a reality of bargain. In my opinion, what Athena was trying to do here is mollify the Furies by revealing to them that they were not overwhelmed by the conclusion of the court and Athena urges the Furies to quell their resentment against Athens and guarantees to provide for them a haven of their own in the city, a city where the nationals can venerate them and make offerings. All through the plays there is a feeling of progress and individually carries its appeals closer to another method for being. Before all else the place of Atreus is secured in the murkiness of slaughter, retaliation and the furies have free rule and torment every one of those they experience. At that point when Orestes comes back at the determination of Apollo, it appears to be a move period in the middle of vague and graceful. Over the long haul the requirement for retaliation blurs, despite the fact that it is still plainly present and supposed and purpose get to be more common. At last, the full move is made to the fresh enlightened lifestyle when Orestes is discovered honest and that’s when the Furies were
conciliated.
As big as the judgment of god was, the subject of the delicacy of human life and the comprehensiveness of anguish played even a bigger role in “The Oresteia.” This in my opinion is the most inclusive and its unmistakable quality in the Agamemnon may help to clarify why this is the most performed play of the set of three. There was a particular quote that I found really interesting and it was before Cassandra passed way, when she said:
