The family tree and history behind the story of Agamemnon is one that is hard to keep straight. Everyone is intertwined through marriages, murders, and love. It is interesting to look back into the tree and see how people died, why they were married to who they were, and who they spited. The cursed placed upon people is also neat to learn about. The G-ds thought up very interesting way to punish people that is much different than something in a contemporary reading.
Like I talked about in my paper, it is interesting to read from the point of view of the time. After reading one can see how people, especially women, were viewed and not respected at all.
