me versus my hatred for the s*xualization of Elektra's character and her feminine rage to the point that there is a psychological complex named after it
#β‘ ooc. ββ β ππ© π―π° πͺπ΅'π΄ ππ’π³πͺ. β#I'm just gonna need the men to shut the fuck up about women and psychology for a minute honestly#the whole take is so backwards and I get Sophocles had a history of inc*stuous themes but#he is not the progenitor of her story and also I don't even think that was his own intention with elektra specifically in his retelling#and so many interpretations are done by men and completely misunderstand her and the concept of her feminine rage#which is why A.nne C.arson's translation is superior and I will die on this hill#(yes I am reading C.arson's Oresteia again shhhh)#a woman feels great grief and rage about her father's death at the hands of her mother? must be s*xual!#as if a woman's grief can't be full of rage without being tied to s*xuality or demonized and attributed as something unnatural and wrong#because women can only be viewed through that lens apparently#and as for how this has been attached to a psychological concept I once again say fuck you freud you freaky bastard
