![]() ![]() I feel helpless instead of empathetic after finishing the play. ![]() ![]() He seems to be the most innocent characters among the play. I know the death is the punishment to Cleon. She cares about her dead brothers' dignity but she deserts her sister alive. Antigone's suicide makes it a tragedy but not a good ending to me. Comparing to Antigone, Clouds, I like Bacchae most. If this play had been first, or you know just not included in the collection, I would've been so much more satisfied and given it 5 stars because it started off so good, but the ending just kind of. As expected, The Cyclops had the standard humour of a satyr play.īut the last play was just so unfortunate and not entertaining whatsoever? I see the tragic elements of it but it seems to be just a couple of war deaths that you never get invested in the characters. The first play, Bacchae I had been looking forward to reading for a long time and it had a really great representation of religious mania and the power of Dionysus, and Iphigenia in Aulis which was dramatic, tragic, and full of noble choices and sacrifices that kept me completely caught up in the storyline. This was a very interesting set of plays that contained a nice variety of subgenres, and it for sure started off very strong. Yup Euripides is for sure my favourite Greek playwright, based on the plays I've read so farĢ. ![]()
