WHICH TRAGIC CHARACTER FROM ANCIENT GREEK
LITERATURE ARE YOU ?
YOUR RESULT ORESTES!
you are orestes from the oresteia by aeschylus, and you are haunted by a cycle of pain. you try your hardest to be a better person, but sometimes you wonder if you will stop feeling trapped by your past. you have a strong sense of justice, you are quick to protect and defend those you love, and you are not afraid to compromise your morals if that means you are settling the score. eventually though, the consequences of your deeds will catch up to you, but that's okay, because sometimes looking your ugliness right in the eye is the greatest release.

These may have been edited for clarity or length or to better apply for roleplaying.
❛ I wish you would have told me. ❜
❛ You didn’t tell your sisters what you saw. ❜
❛ Some things can’t be told. You live them or you don’t. ❜
❛ I’m sorry. ❜
❛ Mom says that a house is like a body. ❜
❛ All this time we tried to get into this room, now we can’t get the fuck out! ❜
❛ She saved me. ❜
❛ I don’t feel anything. ❜
❛ I’m scared. That’s all I am. ❜
❛ There’s nothing left. I’m only scared. ❜
❛ It’s just a house. ❜
❛ It’s very different in the night. It’s different in the dark. ❜
❛ What if I dream that you kill us? ❜
❛ Do you think there’s a thing worse than that? ❜
❛ I don’t think there’s anything worse than that. ❜
❛ Did you just punch me in the boob? ❜
❛ Someone ask you what you think? ❜
❛ I’m so proud of you. You’re doing so well. ❜
❛ Keep it up. ❜
❛ I’m glad you’re here. ❜
❛ I should have made more of an effort with you. ❜
❛ You tried as best you could. ❜
❛ I should have met you halfway. ❜
❛ People fuck up. ❜
❛ I guess you don’t get that, you don’t really get it until you fuck up. ❜
❛ You like to fix things. ❜
❛ You’re good at fixing things. I keep hearing this about you, is that right? ❜
❛ I’m not so sure anymore. ❜
❛ Who do you think did this? ❜
❛ It’s not as bad as it is in your head. ❜
❛ Most of what people say at a funeral is a wish. ❜
❛ Now you stand there and you talk about ghosts and spirits. ❜
❛ Is she okay? ❜
❛ How do you know that? ❜
❛ It’s a twin thing. ❜
❛ This house is bad. ❜
❛ These will help with the cold. ❜
❛ What are you, um, looking at? ❜
❛ She fucking knew better. And she did it anyway. ❜
❛ We’re tougher than other kids. ❜
❛ We make ourselves really safe. And no one ever gets in. ❜
❛ Just because you care about them doesn’t mean they won’t burn you. ❜
❛ You’re scared. I can tell. ❜
❛ Be sure to let your imagination get the best of you. That’s the first step. ❜
❛ Imagine the worst thing possible. Assume it’s true. Then go from there. ❜
❛ I’m drawing boundaries, which is something you should look in to. ❜
❛ How long do we have to live here? ❜
❛ When we die, we turn into stories; and every time someone tells one of those stories, it’s like we’re still here for them. ❜
❛ We’re all stories in the end. ❜
❛ I love you completely, and you loved me the same. The rest is confetti. ❜
❛ Someone should’ve told her she didn’t have to try this hard. ❜
❛ Pandas don’t eat macaroni. ❜
❛ And I’m just- I’m just floating in this ocean of nothing, and I wonder if this is it, if this is what death is. ❜
❛ Journeys end in lovers meeting. ❜
❛ I’ve seen a lot of ghosts. Just not the way you think. ❜
❛ To learn what we fear is to learn who we are. ❜
❛ Horror defies our boundaries and illuminates our souls. ❜
❛ A ghost can be a lot of things. A memory, a daydream, a secret. ❜
❛ When you’re little, you learn how to see things that aren’t there. And when you grow up, you learn how to make them real. ❜
❛ Fear and guilt are sisters. ❜
❛ No live organism can continue to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality. ❜
❛ Most times, a ghost is a wish. ❜
❛ All I could think of when I got a look at the place from the outside was what fun it would be to stand out there and watch it burn down. ❜
❛ Fear is the relinquishment of logic, the willing relinquishing of reasonable patterns. ❜
❛ I feel a little clearer just now. ❜
❛ I feel like I’ve been here before. ❜
❛ You have to live. ❜
❛ I don’t know how to do this without you. ❜
❛ There’s no without. I am not gone. ❜
❛ I’m scattered into so many pieces, sprinkled on your life like new snow. ❜
❛ There’s so much I want to say to you all. ❜
❛ I’m so sorry our last words were in anger. ❜
❛ I’m sorry if I didn’t listen, and I’m sorry… ❜
❛ It wouldn’t have changed anything. ❜
❛ I loved you completely. And you loved me the same. ❜
❛ What were you feeling before? ❜
❛ I was feeling fear. And… And guilt. ❜
