Multiculturalism literary theory

Using multiculturalism literary theory, discuss how the culture of Argos enhances our understanding of the motivations of the characters. How does a discussion of this culture shed light and enhance understanding of the play(s).

Whether you happen to be of Greek ancestry or not, some of the cultural themes in The Orestia may seem rather foreign. The idea of offering libations for the dead—and the notion the dead can request assistance from the afterlife—are concepts not traditionally help in contemporary society and culture. A deeper understanding of Ancient Greek culture can, however, enhance our understanding for why certain characters may have acted in certain ways.
