It is hard to believe that it is almost 2500 years since the Electra was written by Sophocles. Sophocles's masterpiece took place in the old mythological Greece, however, it is not that obvious that something changed in people's morality. I know that killing someone was a daily routine, and if you were rich and powerful it was a committed crime for which no one took responsibility in that time. The scenes and the story itself could have happened nowadays just like in Greece 410 B.C..
The play is relevant due to its feelings, scenario, characters's behavior and the end of the play. Naturally, it is different and it matters if it happened now or 410 B.C., when we look at the play in a general way, but when we examine it character after character, and a scene after scene, we can find out that the world and the people have not changed that much.
