Clytemnestra is depicted in the book as an evil and malicious wife who murders her husband (Agamemnon). Darkness progresses in the story as illustrated in the book by Clytemnestra when she says that Agamemnon died and left her with the evil spell of vengeance. Periods of darkness emerge vividly in the initial stages of the play as can be seen in Agamemnon, which later progresses to the killings of Thyestes’ sons continued with the Clytemnestra’s murder of Agamemnon and Cassandra.

A man only begins living, according to Camus, when he announces in advance his own death to himself and realizes the consequences. While reading this novel, one should remember that Camus has an initial prerequisite for an understanding of his philosophy of the absurd: a realization and recognition of the fact of one's own death. Here also we know in advance the horrible fate in store for the characters, and we watch as the scenes unfold the familiar fate and the agony of, say, Oedipus or Creon. This technique, it is worth noting, is somewhat similar to that of a Greek tragedy. It is also underscored in the first chapter. The tragedy of a plague is announced in the book's title. ![]() |
