Herakles

I really enjoyed the play and the readings because it kept me on edge about what I was feeling. Knowing that Herakles ended up killing his family made me feel disgusted because I could not believe that he would do something like that. Then, finding out that he really had no control over it and was overshadowed by madness made me feel kind of bad for him. Obviously, he killed his family and should be looked down upon because of it, but it seemed that trauma got the best of him, and had no choice. It sucks to be tripped out like that and not know what is going on, only to find out that he killed his family. It was a rude awakening for him once he came back from his madness, so in that regard, I feel awful for him.
