Agamemnon :: Agamemnon

AgamemnonCommunicationIn Aeschyluss, Agamemnon, there is a great incident that the death of Agamemnon could have been prevented, had the Chorus simply listened to Cassandras prophecy. But the dustup spoken between the two parties seem to have loss its meaning when it fell upon the Chorus yet, they were obviously hearing what she was saying. But plot of land they were hearing what she had to say, they did non listen to her words. Ironically, in this story, it is the women who posses all the knowledge. But one time they try to share it, the men, who later suffer the consequence, ignore them. People barely listen to what they want to hear, and a womans word is non considered important enough to listen to.Klytaimestra has thought up an ingenious fancy to uncover the outcome of the Trojan War as quickly as possible however, when she tries to share the news, the Chorus castoffs her declaration. This constant stichomythia between the Chorus and Klytaimestra annoys her because of th e headstrong disbelief, And you have proof?/That, or a phantom spirit sends you into raptures (272-274). The Chorus, which consists of men, do not accept that a woman can have whatever sort of knowledge before they do. They dismiss her claims until they hear it from a priapic messenger, which makes Klytaimestra very angry I cried out long ago/You do me seem deranged (580-586). Further, when she explains how she discovered the outcome, the men automatically assume that because she is a woman, she got her information from gossiping. Just like a woman/to fill with give thanks before the truth is clear . . . So gullible. Their stories spread like wildfire,/they fly ball fast and die faster/rumours voiced by women come to nothing. To the Chorus, a woman to devise a plan as clever as Klytaimestras, is inconceivable. But even after Klytaimestras facts are proven, the Chorus go out later undermine her abilities again.After coming out of the house with personal line of credit staine d hands while announcing her murder, all the Chorus can do is talk about what a great loss they suffer. They accuse Klytaimestra for macrocosm a backstabber, and tell her she should be punished. When Klytaimestra defends her actions by pointing out how Agamemnon killed her daughter, they ignore her and respect mourning. Even though they can see with their own eyes that Klytaimestra killed her economise and Cassandra, they still refuse to really listen to her, as if they do not want to believe that a woman committed the murder of their almighty king.
