Lady Macbeth tries and tries to clean the blood from her hands. While she can’t remove herself from responsibility the way her husband can, she still believes it is her hands that are dirty, not…

The Furies Fury In this paper, I will discuss Aeschylus’ The Eumenides. Close reading reveals that while the Furies are angry over Orestes’ actions, their true passion lies more in his punishment than any other part of their speech.
