Summary "Elektra" by Sophocles is a classical Greek tragedy written in the 5th century BC. The play centers around the themes of vengeance and familial duty, focusing on the character Elektra and her desire to avenge her father's murder. At the start of the tragedy, the narrative establishes the grim backdrop of Elektra's life, marked by the assassination of her father, Agamemnon, at the hands of her mother, Klytaemnestra, and her mother's lover, Aegisthus. Elektra expresses her unwavering grief and determination for revenge as she awaits the return of her brother, Orestes, who she hopes will aid in fulfilling their shared obligation to avenge their father’s death. The opening vividly portrays Elektra’s sorrow and inner turmoil, setting the stage for her conflict with Klytaemnestra and the tumultuous events that will unfold as she seeks justice for her father.
