If a member of a family was killed, it was your must to kill somebody of his family and so on. This is not some kind of "mafia" rules but it is just the plot of the epic play "Agamemnon." Justice in murder must be revenged. The all play rotates around this ethic and that's what makes it very interesting. All of the characters in the play experience some dysfunctional behaviors that perfectly match the attitudes described by Ben Stein in his book "How to ruin your life." But I believe that Clytemnestra is the one that highlight most of the steps in Ben Stein's book. She is the perfect example of a woman who based her life on ignoring family values in the first place and doing things her way without carrying about anyone. That's s lethal mix, a one way trip to failure.

Clytemnestra is Agamemnon's...
