Quote #4
ELECTRA
unless she hear one say
"Orestes will arrive": then standing close,
She shouts like one possessed into mine ear,
'These are your doings, this your work, I trow.
You stole Orestes from my gripe, and placed
His life with fosterers; but you shall pay
Full penalty." (293-297)
We see that Clytemnestra is living in fear. In some way, then, at least psychologically, she is pursued by the Furies for her actions.
