There is a conflict of values at the beginning of the second part of the play through Orestes’ act of killing his mother Clytemnestra in revenge for Agamemnon. The cycle of murders in the Atreus house depicted as justice went against established values. Aeschylus portrays these murders as pure evils, and as long as they continue, Oresteia will remain in darkness. Clytemnestra is depicted in the book as an evil and malicious wife who murders her husband (Agamemnon). Darkness progresses in the story as illustrated in the book by Clytemnestra when she says that Agamemnon died and left her with the evil spell of vengeance. Periods of darkness emerge vividly in the initial stages of the play as can be seen in Agamemnon, which later progresses to the killings of Thyestes’ sons continued with the Clytemnestra’s murder of Agamemnon and Cassandra. In the play, progression emphasized in the transition from evil to good is accompanied by the two conflicting images of order and disorder. These conflicts had to be resolved for harmony to prevail. The second is the Furies the older generation of gods who have a contrary mission with the younger Olympian gods because they wanted to avenge the murders in the Atreus family. The cycle of deaths, that hovered around the house of Atreus. Two conflicts had to be resolved quickly. Aeschylus in the Oresteia depicts a progression from the ancient crimes to a state of justice by use of darkness to light, disorder to order. The play revolves around the concept of justice: justice as revenge thus putting personal responsibility of revenge on the insulted.
