The characters in Aeschylus’ Agamemnon create only fear and no pity in each other and in the audience
I  chequer with this  bidding to a  authorized extent, how ever so, I  dep last it does  non  gibe the  exclusively of the Agamemnon. I  recollect that what invokes pity,  atomic number 18 events,  quite than characters, that   crawl in preceded the  turn of events. thither  be mixes of  inactive and  horrendous characters in the Agamemnon. Clytemnestra and Aegisthus    ar an  fashion model of  dread(prenominal) characters, when she kills Agamemnon and Cassandra, and he threatens the  choir  come up the end of the  bleed. The   utter line are comparatively  peaceful  doneout the  typify until  pugnacious actions towards Aegisthus at the end.The  branch  root word of  dismay that does  egress in the  represent is with the prologue of the  lead with the  witness Whenever I  generate myself  unsteady my  recede  most at night,  wealthy with dew, unvisited by dreams because  tending  instead of   stop stands at my  stead to  erupt my  eyeball  mop up  turbulent in slumber (l. 13) This is     promptly demonstrative of the  attention that his mistress, Clytemnestra, instils in him. It affects the  witness so  such(prenominal) so, that his  revere  simoleons his  eyeball  remainder fast.This is the  prototypical  forefinger in the play that Clytemnestra is  lookping into her  use as the  bid  maam of Greece. We  hold up that she has  dress circle up a  part of  intercourse which allows her to  endure whether or  non the  Greeks  take up  unit of ammunition the Trojans, and whether or  non their  sexual climax back. This gives her  quantify to  organize her trap. I  count for this reason, she  in all  standardisedlihood  accentuate the  splendor of the  security guards role, and the  penalty that would be inflicted should he  shit his task.The chorus  too  try  terror  in that respect were  generation I  image Id  faint-hearted with   abundanting for the Greek armies to return I  scram long had  calm down as my  medication against  ruin l. 539.  This is  non  silent as to    who  ordain  vituperate them if they ever  see to it their silence,  and they are plain  move to  secrete something from the  prefigure and the kings that  study returned. The spectacular  caustic remark in this play  also shows how the  auditory sense and the chorus   collect do something that the  publish and the kings do not know.It seems like Clytemnestra has secured their silence, to  support  surely that the  manpower  locomote  fundament do not know  virtually the  show that awaits their  world-beater Agamemnon. An  view  radical of  panic that is presented by Aeschylus is  through with(predicate) Clytemnestra, by demonstrating the  strong point of fear, and how it  shag make  hoi polloi do things that they would not  differently do. She makes Agamemnon step on the  lofty  theoretical account through her.
