The house rises up as Orestes and Elektra are convinced to spare their mother and let go of vengeance just as the furies did #LLCU322

[Stephanie Sheridan @llcu322ssherida]

"This house rises up. For too long it has lain in ash on the ground" Could ash be a metaphor for the notion of vengeance? #LLCU322

[Stephanie Sheridan @llcu322ssherida]

If the microphone symbolizes the sharing of stories, then the scraping against the table is the pain that comes with reliving them #LLCU322

[Stephanie Sheridan @llcu322ssherida]

According to Electra, if people die for nothing then we are "history without a future", but "nothing" is a relative term #LLCU322

[Stephanie Sheridan @llcu322ssherida]

The audience should not be experiencing Molora as voyeurs. It is our responsibility to treat history the same way, as we have for #LLCU322

Once the law of retaliation becomes the principle form of justice in a community, how do we stop it? #LLCU322

[Jill Scott @llcu322jscott]

The SA TRC did not consider the Pass Laws or Coerced Labour as "gross violations of human rights." #llcu322

Is #amnesty for answers fair? It seems under-dramatic but it gives victims and their families the chance to #forgive #LLCU322

[Stephanie Sheridan @llcu322ssherida]

Amnesty (an official pardon) was granted to those who answered questions directly from victims or surviving family members #LLCU322

[Stephanie Sheridan @llcu322ssherida]

Despite the religion of the victims and that the TRC was non-religious, Tutu's presence was important to them #RoleOfReligion #LLCU322

[Stephanie Sheridan @llcu322ssherida]

The TRC believed Tutu shouldn't wear his purple robes at the hearing but he knew that the people wanted it #RoleOfReligion #LLCU322

"The resonator for this commission is to open wounds, cleansing them so that they do not fester" -Tutu on the TRC #LLCU322

"A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us" - Kafka. Through literature we face our weaknesses #LLCU332

[Stephanie Sheridan @llcu322ssherida]

Kafka had a poor relationship with his father. Can we see this in his writing? #LLCU322

The Nuremberg Trials had to use judicial and non-judicial concepts to address the situation. #LLCU322 #TransitionalJustice

[Stephanie Sheridan @llcu322ssherida]

The Nuremberg Trials are an example of transitional justice; there were no judicial measures to address War Crimes like WW2 #LLCU322

[Stephanie Sheridan @llcu322ssherida]

Does restorative justice fit the definition of transitional justice? #LLCU322

[Stephanie Sheridan @llcu322ssherida]

Transitional justice is defined as the combination of judicial and non-judicial measures to address the abuse of human rights #LLCU322

[Stephanie Sheridan @llcu322ssherida]

Is there any way that restorative justice could have been applied to WWII? What Nazi Germany did was so unforgivable. Thoughts? #LLCU322
