| Electra (Theatre) | comment |
A tragedy written by Sophocles.Orestes and friends arrive in Argos, with the intent to take revenge on his mother Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus for the murder of his father Agamemnon. His younger sister Electra meanwhile is busy lamenting Agamemnon's death and cursing her mother and step-father for her wretched existence. The Chorus try to calm her down, but she is completely consumed by her passion. Chrysothemis, her surviving sister, appears on her way to leave grave gifts from Clytemnestra at Agamemnon's tomb, and fails to convince her to act meekly to protect herself. Electra manages to convince Chrysothemis not to leave false gifts at the grave but otherwise dismisses her completely.Clytemnestra arrives to mock Electra and together they receive a messenger bearing news of Orestes's death. Orestes being her last hope, Electra is devastated whereas Clytemnestra is greatly relieved. Chrysothemis returns happily to tell Electra that Orestes must have returned, as she saw a gold lock of hair on Agamemnon's tomb. Electra tells her this is impossible and tries to persuade her to help kill Aegisthus. Chrysothemis rejects her and leaves Electra to her mourning.Orestes arrives in disguise to convey his own ashes to his mother but stops to talk to Electra on the way. Eventually seeing how overwrought she is, he reveals his identity and they happily reunite. When the moment finally presents itself, he kills both Clytemnestra and Aegisthus, as Electra revels in her salvation.Sophocles principally focuses on Electra's destructive passions and bloodlust. Euripides also wrote an Electra based on the same story which is a rather different play. Aeschylus's The Libation Bearers treats the same events as well, as part of Cycle of Revenge Trilogy The Oresteia. Jean Giraudoux's adaptation adds anachronistic elements and additional Greek Chorus characters, as well as exploring the tragically self-defeating nature of focusing on revenge. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
| Electra (Theatre) / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Is Electra truly being mistreated by her mother and Aegisthus? Or is she insane and out of touch with reality? The only evidence we have for Clytemnestra and Aegisthus treating her badly is Electra's word for it. In some translations, she comes off as a borderline psychopathic spoiled brat who only wants revenge for Agamemnon to get back at her mother for being mean to her. | |

Big Brother Worship: Electra worships Orestes, but it is entirely contingent on the fact that she thinks he will kill Clytemnestra one day. If he chose to stay happily in exile for the rest of his life, she'd probably disown him, but as her only ally and potential saviour, he is the recipient of all her love. | |

Black Sheep | |
| Electra (Theatre) / int_a3a7c41 | comment |
Black Sheep: Though Electra is treated like this for her obstinate behaviour, it's really Chrysothemis that is the Black Sheep (or possibly White Sheep) of the family. She's meek, feminine, and is the only one in the family who hasn't conspired to murder someone. In reality, Electra very much resembles the mother she loathes. | |

Due to the Dead | |
| Electra (Theatre) / int_a679184b | comment |
Due to the Dead: Frequent throughout the story. Electra refuses to stop mourning her father until he is avenged. After having a foreboding dream, Clytemnestra sends grave offerings with Chrysothemis in hopes of appeasing Agamemnon's spirit. Electra stops her because a false offering would be an even worse slight to her father; Chrysothemis takes locks of their hair instead, only to find Orestes had done the same, despite receiving news of his death. Electra immediately begins ritual mourning once she hears her beloved brother has died in a chariot race. | |

Knight Templar: Electra refuses to morally compromise by living peacefully with Clytemnestra and Aegisthus because that would be excusing them of their murder of Agamemnon and being a coward who dishonors him while living a life of luxury. Her refusal goes to the point of gleefully cheering on their murder. | |

The Un-Favourite: Electra; even when she loathes her mother and stepfather and isn't hesitant about letting it be known, it's not like she deserves to be left to die in a sealed cave either. Orestes is too, but he has been in exile since childhood, so it's not as obvious. | |

Talking Is a Free Action: subverted: Orestes and Electra have quite a long conversation when the latter finds out the former is still alive, but they get interrupted by the old slave calling them out for wasting precious time they need to carry out their planned murders without being caught. Later on, Orestes stops Aegisthus from making any speech before he is killed. | |
