Document Summary

After careful analyzing the text, one comes to learn about the resentment mortals have toward the furies". Although there limited social interaction with mortals and society itself, it becomes evident that they play a crucial role in enforcing the cycle of vengeance. In the open passage of aeschylus: the furies, pythia, the priestess of apollo delivers a descriptive speech about her observation of the furies". In her environment, she sees a man that is sleeping on a bench, and beside him, she witnesses a strange woman sleeping, describing them as if they are almost out of place. This gives us an insight on the idea that these creatures (the furies) are not openly welcomed by mortals and the utter disrespect though are given when their presence is felt. She describes her observation by saying, in front of this man was an astonishing throng of women propped against the benches asleep.
