Summary
Elektra, whose father was murdered by her mother Klytämnestra and her lover Aegisth, does not hide her hatred for her mother and father-in-law and is treated brutally. Her sister Chrysothemis desperately tries to calm Elektra down, who lives only by her longing for her father and expectation of her younger brother Orest to avenge their father.
