brutal play full of death and cruelty, yet somehow compelling despite the protagonist/main character being the evil murderous tyrant

*Read for class.
I liked it in a way, it was rather interesting to get to know this pre-shakespearian tragedy, but I can't say that I enjoyed reading it. Great for education, not so much for enjoyment.
