107 Horatli and Curiatii, the fierce young hero who had overcome the Curiatii one after angther (instead of being congratulated by his sister for his victory, being upbraided by her for having slain her lover) sin the height of his passion and resentment kills her. If any thing could extenuate so brutal an action, it would be the doing of it on a sudden, before the sentiments of nature, reason, or manhood could take place in him. However, to avoid public 10 bloodshed, as soon as his passion is ...wrought to its height, he follows his sister the whole length of the stage, and forbears killing her till they are both withdrawn behind the scenes. I must confess, had he murdered her before the audience, the in- 15 decency might have been greater; but as it is, it appears very unnatural, and looks like killing in cold blood. To give my opinion upon this case, the fact ought not to have been represented, but to have been told, if there was any occasion for it. 20 It may not be unacceptable to the reader, to see how Sophocles has conducted a tragedy under the like delicate circumstances.
