KLYTAIMESTRA : Right and wrong! What use is that in dealing with her? Do you hear her insults? And this girl is old enough to know better. The fact is, she would do anything, don’t you see that? No shame at all.   ELEKTRA : Ah now there you mistake me. Shame I do feel. And I know there is something all wrong about me— believe me. Sometimes I shock myself. But there is a reason: you. You never let up this one same pressure of hatred on my life: I am the shape you made me. Filth teaches filth.
