Aeschylus’ Agamemnon create only fear and no pity in each other and in the audience.’ How far do you agree with this statement? I agree with this statement to a certain extent‚ however‚ I think it does not represent the whole of the Agamemnon. I think that what invokes pity‚ are events‚ rather than characters‚ that have preceded the play. There are mixes of passive and fearsome characters in the Agamemnon. Clytemnestra and Aegisthus are an example of fearsome characters‚ when she kills Agamemnon and

hidden on the inside. "Richard Cory" by Edwin Arlington Robinson‚ "We wear the mask" by Paul Laurence Dunbar‚ and "I’m nobody! Who are you?" by Emily Dickinson each give examples of appearances in contrast to reality. Robinson’s "Richard Cory" is essentially about a man who is set upon a golden pedestal by others and due to his suppressed sadness‚ kills himself. "We wear the mask" by Dunbar shows us society’s use of a "mask" to hide their sorrow and grief‚ grinning and smiling when they truly feel overwhelmed
