This research is focusing on the stage after the fall of Troy, where Hecuba and Polyxeni were standing as the last members of the Trojan royal family among the ruins of Troy. Queen Hecuba had to suffer and endure the sacrifice of her daughter Polyxeni for the sack of Achilles, as she witnessed before the death of her husband Priamus and the slavery of her daughter Kassandra. Euripides in his play is shedding the light on two different struggles: - First: the struggle between Hecuba and Odysseus, when Hecuba failed to convince him not to sacrifice her daughter. And that was the first main characteristic of the conquered queen. As she appeared weak and pitiful. - Second: the struggle between Hecuba and Agamemnon, when she failed to convince him to take revenge from Polymestor the killer of her son Polydorus. Through that struggle Hecuba turned into a different character. Hecuba is not only demanding revenge but also ordering Agamemnon to keep silent about what she wants to do. Revenge is accomplished by Hecuba and captives of Troy, women killed sons of Polymestor before blinding his eyes. Blind Polymestor starts all of a sudden to predict the death of Agamemnon and the awful end of Hecuba. Sudden changes in the characters of both Hecuba and Polymestor are radical in the play. And gods do not seem to play any role in the whole play, which is prototype for Euripides himself. |
