Kennedy famously misquoted a line from this play, replacingthe word "despite" with "despair," in a speech given aftfter Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination that culminates "evenin our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God." This play begins with a speech by acharacter who claims to "know the stars by heart" and has spent the last year "awake" watching the sky for a fiÂery beacon.The title character is goaded into walking across a carpet of purple tapestries to enter his home. This play begins with theWatchman's speech, and ends when a chorus of old men from Argos taunt a man returning from exile, for letting his femalelover kill the title king in his bath, as vengeance for sacriÂcing his daughter Iphigenia. For 10 points, name this play whose titlecharacter is murdered by his wife Clytemnestra, which precedes The Libation Bearersas the fiÂrst part of Aeschylus's Oresteia.
