I have read this book because of school, so it wouldn’t be my first choice of a book. I feel like it is written in a really complicated language so I had to read most of the book more times than once, but in the end it’s a really powerful story and I do not regret reading.

Tragedies are such a potent form of storytelling, offering an alternative to the morality that all who are good will receive a happy ending. It is probably the best medium for moral lessons and this is a beautiful example of proud and heroic figures who deem their ideals and their god's laws more valuable than the power of their superior, who is proud and ignorant. For it's short length it contains the beauty of clear dialogue, amiable character's and a tragic story that gives meaning beyond the setting of the plot.
