Due 12/18

Read Oedipus (in your anthology).

You should read the background information provided in your anthology. (Hint: if you don't know while you're reading the play that Oedipus is really married to his mother, Jocasta, you've kind of missed the point.)

Take notes that gather specific plot references that provided evidence of:

-Oedipus' arrogance/pride
-Moments where Oedipus is a victim of fate (events that are beyond his control)
-Moments of dramatic irony
