Characters
I am about seven chapters ahead on Orestes, and currently faced with writing the most complex, difficult-to-grasp character in the entire novel.
Pylades.
Clytaemnestra and Aegisthus are easy to write by comparison. Elektra is easy to write. Even Agamemnon is easy, given that all he has to do is die gruesomely. Pylades? Has one line of dialogue in The Oresteia, which Apollo probably puts into his mouth. I see his temperament as running opposite to Orestes, in that he's rational, cool, and reserved whereas Orestes boils over with emotions and impulses.
