Electra makes her own clothes from wool, carries water, and misses all the holy day festivities. Electra's mother, in contrast, lives in luxury as the ruler of the land, and the Trojan girls that Agamemnon brought back with him are Clytemnestra's servants. The palace is still stained with Agamemnon's blood, and no one honors his tomb.
