Consider Aeschylus’s use of imagery and other figurative language throughout the trilogy.

Aeschylus’ use of imagery is essential in understanding and visualizing the impact of the different scenes that occur during the play. The best example of this was definitely in the scene where Clytaemestra was speaking about killing Agamemnon and stated “he spattered me with the dark red and violent driven rain of bitter savored blood to make me glad, as gardens stand among the showers of God in glory, at the birthtime of buds.” This quote helped us imagine the blood and gore from the killing and also helped us understand and connect with how Clytaemestra was feeling after the killing. Reading literature is not the easiest task to do as often times I find myself having to read the same line twice and really break it down to understand it, Aeschylus did a great job of using imagery to help the reader better understand the scenes.
