Absolutely obsessed with the way Elektra calls Orestes a coward and a sham to the legacy of their father because he doesn’t want to go through with killing their mother. Even though, she was too young to know her father at all, she doesn’t know how he cried and fretted about having to sacrifice his daughter, how he argued with Menelaus and almost sent the greek armies back home, almost defied Artemis, because how could he ever stain his hands with the blood of his own kin? Orestes follows in his father’s footsteps while Elektra spends her time seething in rage and scheming the death of her mother to avenge a man she worships like a god and pay back all the injustice she suffered at Clytemnestra’s hand. Like honey I hate to break it to you but you are your mother’s daughter through and through.
