Adultery Leads to Murder in Greek Tragedies
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp). The question posed for our discussion is how adultery leads to murder in Greek tragedies. Yet it seems that an important component has been left out of the equation: it is attitude on the part of the male, which leads to his murder, as much as does his breaking of his marriage vows through adultery. Consequently we will examine three Greek tragedies, Medea, Women of Trachis and Agamemnon; to decipher the attitudes of the males involved, and see if it influences their wives rage.

Aeschylus' Oresteia & Sartre The Flies
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page essay that examines the stagecraft employed in these two works. While the art of playwriting has evolved and changed over the course of Western civilization, playwrights whether ancient or modern had to accomplish similar tasks in the storytelling and dramatization. The audience, in both cases, has to be informed about the background to the story, that is, the context in which the play takes place. The audience should also understand the nuances of characterization and the motivation that propels the characters to specific actions. Looking at the stagecraft of the ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus, in his trilogy Oresteia, and the modern adaptation of this myth in Jean-Paul Sartre's The Flies, it can be seen how each author uses different theatrical devices to accomplish their storytelling goals. No additional sources cited.
