Although Agamemnon and Clytemnestra both have committed heinous acts, Aeschylus is using these characters to reflect on the conflicting interest between the good of the community (Agamemnon) and the good of one’s family (Clytemnestra). Drawing on the different roles of men and women in Xenophon’s Economics, the thesis of the paper should argue whether Agamemnon or Clytemnestra is more justified in their action. Test the thesis by devoting half the paper to defending the opposing position. The conclusion of the paper should attempt to revise the thesis in light of the arguments raised by the opposing position. Both sides of the argument should be grounded by quoting, citing, and analysing Aeschylus’ Agamemnon. The paper should also include a brief discussion of the division of gender labor found in Xenophon’s Economics to set up the theoretical distinction between family and community
