I wanted to kill Agamemnon all on my own as Iphigenia was MY daughter, but after much thought and reflection, I have decided that perhaps it is best that Aegisthus does help me with my plot for murder. He is very crafty and he has so many good ideas.
Because i know my "husband" best, I will appeal to his ego so that he may let his guard down and allow our plans to proceed without suspicion. The curse of this house can be used to my advantage! At the end, with the ideas and help of Ageisthus I will have my vengeance!
The plan that we came up with goes something like this:
- I will have watchman posted strategically in every town to alert me of news of Agamemnon's return.
- I will have an offering planned for him when he returns, so that i may be seen as the loving and caring wife that i am (NOT!!!), and so that I may fool those old men (chorus) too.
- I will coax him into the house by spreading a crimson tapestry that he may step over as he passes onto the house. I will use his bitter rival Priam as bait, by telling him that Priam would do the same, had he been the one to emerge victorious. His pride will force his acceptance which will seal his fate as ONLY such honors can be given and used by the Gods. When he does acquiesce to my request, the Gods will punish him for his insubordination!
- I will then tempt him with a warm bath in his silver cauldron that he love best, as I know he has long been away and he will be craving one. He always did love the scent of Jasmine, such a soft man!
- While he is soaking his wounds and scrubbing up, I will bring out my work of art: my net. This net will trap him and restrain him from running away.
- Once trapped I will gore him through like a bull with Aegisthus' sword!
Then Aegisthus and I can rule without interference or threats. I LOVE IT!!!
Of course we must also plan for the unexpected and so this plan is a rough sketch that can be adjusted if need be. However, the plans remain in motion.
As for regrets...there really aren't any. The only thing I regret is allowing my daughter to go with him. Other than that i don't regret my plans for his death, just as I'm sure he does not regret killing my lovely daughter.
I am so excited! How can I ever sleep tonight?
Alright, I must go...I'm gloating!
