Hippolytus

My opinions changed by the ending because it took a huge turn. At the start, Hippolytus seemed to be a problem in general and did not have any great value for him. Also, Phaedra came off to me as pleasing and the complete opposite of Hippolytus. Phedra had all this guilt to her and it seemed as if she did not need that because of the way she was portrayed. As the story went on, it switched. I gasped when I saw that Hippolytus was being honest. Phaedra lied and tried to keep her glory. Hippolytus did not deserve what he got because he was doing what he felt was right. He suffered under a goddess even though he was doing what he believed in. I respect that and have little to no respect for Phaedra.
