Agamemnon

Agamemnon is a tragedy i found very interesting to read. It is about the events that happened to Agamemnon after the Trojan war. He is killed by his wife as vengeance for sacrificing their daughter in the Trojan war. One thing i found interesting in this story were the roles the women played. The women in this story unlike the epic are very strong, outspoken, very important to the stroyline and are also the main characters of the story. Cassandra can see visions and sees her and Agamemon's demise before it happens while Clytemnestra actually kills her husband. She is deceptive and plans the whole murder even before Agamemnon comes back from war. I love the roles of the two women in this story and how they stand out of the social norms of their time. However i do not really get how or why Cassandra was killed because it is not really explained in the story.
