What a wonderful essay! You’ve done subtle and convincing justice (unlike Classical Greek dike) to two of my favorite works, The Oresteia and Madame Bovary, and to their creators, Aeschylus and Gustave Flaubert, each in their own ways matchless.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed & found it somewhat convincing! I'm sure there are tons of interpretations of the blind man; honestly, I have no idea if my suggestion is new or not.
I don’t recall the connection you made between Flaubert and Aeschylus being made elsewhere but Grok would quickly sort that out. Nevertheless, a fine and thought-provoking essay.
