Some Thoughts on Alcestis by Euripides (A Ramble)
In this review, I only focus on one of the plays of this book as it was Alcestis which hit home for me. I kept thinking about it long after I finished reading it especially with the question of having to die for someone else. (Although do read the others, especially Hippolytus which is also good). Here I share the plot and in the last five minutes or so, I share the one thing that stood out around having been rendered mute by others. In some way, it's like being cancelled...? Over to you. Let me know your thoughts on this play if you've read it. ********************** Help Me Build this Channel and Bring More Books to You! 😉 As I'm not on social media (so I can have more time to read and write), consider helping me to bring more videos and book tours to you.
