Electra lives miserably under the yoke of her mother Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus, both of whom murdered Electra’s father Agamemnon. She has lost all hope of joining with her exiled brother Orestes to avenge her father’s death, as a messenger has just announced the death of her brother. Misled by this ruse, Electra sinks into despair until Orestes reveals his disguise. Brother and sister are reunited at last and take their revenge.


Justice is a sham. The only way Electra can be delivered from her suffering is through vengeance.
