Summarize the dialog between the coral Leader and Aegisthus? What kind of character/ politicial leader does Aegisthus appear to be? What is the Chorus' hope about Orestes? How will this hope be fulfilled?
The coral Leader basically tells Aegisthus that he's doing wrong, and that he can't take the throne. Then Aegisthus flaunts his power and murder, then him and Clytemnestra go into the house. Aegisthus seems to be a tyrant coming into power through murdering the king. The chorus don't like this, so they are hoping Orestes will come back, and kill the tyrant. This hope will be fulfilled in the next play, and in secret, like and assassination.
