Cassandra

introduced to a female character named Cassandra. Even though her part is approximately 260 lines, it delivers such an important dramatic purpose. Her scene begins when she enters riding in a chariot alongside King Agamemnon, they are greeted by his current wife Clytemnestra. At this point King Agamemnon is now asked to walk down the purple tapestry with Casandra following along to his impending doom. In this paper I will give you insight on who exactly Cassandra is; and the powerful effect that she

The book, City of Lost Souls written by Cassandra Clare, is about a girl named Clary, who is half angel half human. Clary needs to save her lover Jace who has been brainwashed by her evil brother Sebastian. Clary must stop Sebastian from summoning an army of demons and starting a war between good and evil. When I read this novel, I felt envious. I felt this because the ShadowHunters had so many supernatural abilities compared to humans. For example when we learn that ShadowHunters are half human

Cassandra Clare’s works, The Shadowhunter Chronicles, are full of diverse characters, and for various reasons. One reason being that she believes it is important for novels to have all different kinds of characters to reflect the world around us; because the world is diverse, the book she writes must also be diverse. She strives to create relatable characters so that readers of any sexual orientation, race, or gender are able to identify with her works. For example, Clare’s choice of writing her

Cassandra C. Cassandra was 17 when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and refused treatment. The hospital told DCF that the mother was being irresponsible because the mother didn’t force her daughter to do chemotherapy when the hospital told her about it. The DCF responded by taking Cassandra and putting her in a foster home until she had a court date to determine if she was going back into her mother’s custody. At the hearing, the court ruled that she could go back to her mother’s house if

The words that Cassandra shouts as she is led toward her death present a curiously incomprehensible riddle. At first, everything seems to make sense: Agamemnon correlates to the bull and Clytemnestra to the cow, but when we look at passage more closely, we see that Cassandra describes the cow as the one having the horn that gores the bull, and, even more curious, the horn isn’t white, but black. I suggest that this passage, or riddle, reveals the conflation and shifting of gender roles as demonstrated

Aristophanes’ Lysistrata--face grim consequences for acting independently. Clytemnestra and Cassandra from Aeschylus’s Agamemnon exemplify this archetype of autonomy and destruction. When they confront injustice, male characters perceive them as vindictive and hysterical. This paper will compare the standards of justice Aeschylus’s society imposes on men and women. I will argue that Clytemnestra and Cassandra are protectors of divine justice who reject subservience and thereby transcend the sexism

both Clytemnestra and Cassandra have their opinions of Agamemnon. He has shown the type of King he truly is. Clytemnestra, his wife, has took action in her own hands when it came to dealing with Agamemnon. This resulted in his brutal death where he least expected it. Cassandra, priestess of Apollo, was cursed with gift of prophecy but no one will believe her. With that being said she knew things were going to end bad with Agamemnon before everyone else. This is why Cassandra remains a noble prophet

prelude to Clytemnestra finally utilizing destructive justice, and thus breaking the circle of violence. Clytemnestra destructiveness is intrinsic in the scene where she welcome home Agamemnon, who accompanied by Cassandra. Aeschylus writes, “You go inside now. I’m talking to you, Cassandra. Zeus, not unkindly, has determined you should share the lustral water of our house, standing where all our slaves crowd the altar of god who guards the house’s wealth” (79:1173-78). In this excerpt, Clytemnestra

and those disputable activities all through the story; basically in the primary part Agamemnon gets her into an inconvenience. As we investigate the body of evidence that works against her innocents by investigating the killings of Agamemnon and Cassandra and the proud expression about the killings. This activity causes a lot of fierceness in Clytemnestra. One could exceptionally surely know why she would act along these lines. Clytemnestra see 's the slaughtering of her little girl as simply being

turn to you the love I gave my mother" (Aeschylus 189).  In this way, she comes to revere the male over the female, the father over the mother.  Another strong female character who is grossly underestimated is Cassandra, daughter of Priam, King of Troy.  Cassandra is brought into this family feud  when Agamemnon brings her back from Troy as his personal prize from the war.  She has the gift of prophesy but her prophesies are never believed because she once angered Apollo
