Wuthering heights and Orestea (Eschilo)
Family drama galore, I see
Wuthering Heights (also asked by @faintingheroine and @thefirewithallthestrengthithath)
Favorite character: Nelly Dean and Heathcliff
Second favorite: Hareton and Cathy 2
…which makes four characters total, whatever, I’m not going to chose
Least favorite: Edgar. Not like I hate him, but his apathy and spineless attitude get on my nerves
Character I’m most like: Edgar lol, and Nelly
Favorite pairing: Catherine and Heathcliff, obviously, but I’m also very very fond of Cathy and Hareton
Least favorite pairing: Heathcliff and Isabella (not sure if they can even be considered a pairing? Anyway, they got married, so)
Favorite moment: the whole section after Lockwood comes back in 1802 to the ending.
Rating: 10/10. Honestly wouldn’t have given the full score only a few months ago, thank God for rereadings
Oresteia
Favorite character: Clytemnestra (very clichéd but what can I say)
Second favorite: Cassandra
Least favorite: I'd say Aegisthus. I don't have any real rational reason, just don't like him
Character I’m most like: honestly no idea?
Favorite moment: Cassandra’s prophetic delirium and Clytemnestra declaring the murder. Drama!!!
Rating: 9/10. Agamemnon is one of my favorite plays period (as one can tell from my answers), but I don’t love the other two as much
