Title/Subject:In the play Agamemnon, the thing that I get most out of it is the concept of revenge. I like to watch comedy movies and this revenge reminded me of the movie Anchorman. In the movie Anchorman, the new TV anchor is a woman and she is out to prove that she is just as good as the men at this job. She and the lead anchor, Ron Burgundy, have their issues with each other for obvious reasons like pride and wanting to be the best. The woman anchor takes her revenge on Ron for not treating her as an equal and makes him say something very inappropriate for a TV news show. While this doesn’t actually kill Ron literally, it figuratively could because he has nothing left to live for without his news show. No children are involved in the revenge like in the play, but this is the fist thing that came to my head when we were asked to compare what Agamemnon reminds me about.

I think that this is one of the greatest connections ever, in that in Anchorman its more of a metaphorical killing. The killing of Ron Burgandy's career. Well done.

I think that in regards to the Anchorman connection, the attitude on the woman's revenge on Ron was much lighter than the attitude of Clytemnestra on Agamemnon.
