Description
Seneca's plays are a powerful exploration of human nature, reflecting the extremes of behaviour he witnessed in ancient Rome. From the brutal to the psychological, these tragedies expose the destructive forces that drive individuals to violence.
The surviving Latin tragedies, including Phaedra and Trojan Women, offer masterful portrayals of guilt, sorrow, anger, and desire, as well as the devastating consequences of unchecked emotions.
