After reading half of the play, I was really exhausted. After reading 3/4 of Electra I started to be enthusiastic. Why is that? Well, to me it seems that 3/4 of this play are describing Electra's grieving and expressing her sadness. And while most of her grieving took most of the book, the part, where there is finally something happening is too brief comparing to Electra's grieving part of the book. While I was reading a boring part of the book I always hoped that at the other page there will happen something crucial eventually. Unfortunately, it took me more than two days to get to the fun part.
Me personaly I did not expect Orestes to kill his own mother. Not only I find it too cruel for a man to kill his own mother intentionally, but also it is the fact that both her children were fine with that. No word of protest, no word of mercy.
Later on, when I finally got to a part, where there is something interesting going on, the characters provided a clear and logical shift of the play. It was easy to understand, easy to follow and easy to deduce what is coming next.
