I have loved reading the Libation Bearers!! I was able to understand everything and I could relate to the story more than the first. Maybe it’s just me but I was cracking up quite a bit too especially when it called I’m guessing Clytaemnestra a ruthless bad word and how Hermes needed to take her down either way I was dying laughing. I also loved how Orestes told Clytaemnestra if she loved her man she could lie with him in the grave because she can’t be unfaithful to the dead. I mean this guy really just called out and roasted his own mom (this is where I would insert a laughing emoji). I also admired the relationship between Orestes and Electra but I did feel like sometimes it was getting too weird. Between plotting revenge on their mother, the nurse talking about how she raised Orestes, then the nurse turning around and helping them out, and the suspense building up to Orestes killing the two; I felt like is was deeply involved in a medieval TV show on Netflix. It was really suspenseful to me especially when I thought Orestes was dead at first but then he wasn’t. I just really loved reading the whole thing. It has definitely become my favorite this semester next to “Harambe’s” Code (inserting another laughing emoji)
I commented on Gray and Hannah’s post.

I completely understand the better understanding of the second story. I believe it might be because we understand the premise of the story, and we don't have to piece together the backstory from what the characters say during the play.
