The Flies is the first play of Jean-Paul Sartre that presented to the public, was well received when it is presented in Paris. The play is concerned with the problem of freedom. The Flies is still popular and frequently staged.
Jean-Paul Sartre his philosophical writings are difficult to understand. The Flies struggles, through the hero’s own discoveries, that reality and freedom. Freedom is something worth fighting for or means to fight for freedom. In this play some weapons are used to control, but they are some tools for those who liberate. The former use violence because they lust for power. When Aegistheus kills Agamemnon with an axe, he does not do this because he hates Agamemnon or because he feels that when he kill Agamemnon he got a positive value. Aegistheus acts out of a desire for power.
The liberators, realize their freedom is in their actions. Electra speaks of Orestes cutting Jupiter in half with his sword, and later Orestes does use a sword to kill Aegistheus and Clytemnestra. Orestes is willing to use violence because violence is only for wrong but someone use violence for the right reasons.
