I believe this story of continual cycle of bloody affairs shows humans that the world is not so perfect and there isn't always a right and wrong choice. We do not always do what is ethical and logical when it comes to the people that we love. If we put ourselves in each of the characters shoes, we will discover that we may say we may stop the cycle by doing the right thing but at the end of the day we will end up seeking revenge in the name of justice for the person responsible for the crime. We can say the right thing to do would be but at the end of it all say Orestes forgives his mother, will they relationship ever be the same? No, there is no right thing we can do sure he can say he forgives her but then she would be lurking in the background with her power hungry hands. The reason the world is not so black and white is because of these intense feelings we experience when it comes to our loved ones. These feelings impede us to delegate justice.
Ps. I commented on Jannah's "Revenge or justice?"
