During the playwright’s lifetime he wrote tragedies‚ many of them re-inventions of Greek myths of decadence and self-destruction. For example‚ his play Phaedra details the sensual depravity of Theseus’ lonely wife who lusts after her step-son‚ Hippolytus.

Some people do think what their actions will do to others or those who have hurt them. Sometimes those who had nothing to with the situation end up being the ones getting hurt and not those who caused the pain and trouble.
