Tuesday and Thursday we will be working with the text of Oedipus in your red book (pages 896-936).
Our class discussion will focus largely on:
- moments when Oedipus shows his arrogance
- moments when fate is mentioned
- irony
- recurring motifs (eyes, nets, etc)
Please gather these plot references so that you can contribute them to the class discussion during the student led portion.
For Tuesday:
Please have read 896-900 by Tuesday. We will be doing some closer text analysis of this section (tip and middle of the triangle). Be prepared to comment on the characters' use of diction, argumentation, allusions, insights, etc. This should get you off to a good start for understanding the remainder of the play.
