First of all I apologize for the late post. :) But anyways, we started doing small group discussions last class on our drama reading (Oedipus Rex). We had questions and comments that we wrote for homework to share with the class. Now to be honest, my questions were kind of general because I didn't really know if I was doing it right. But I did get them answered. Okay, so the first one wasn't really a question; more of a comment. I thought Oedipus was an arrogant person who was a little self-centered and full of pride. One classmate commented that he was just to say that he will kill the murderer of the previous king when the murder was really him. So what's going to happen when everyone finds out that Oedipus was the murder. I've never read or seen this story before so I'm really curious as to what happens next.
My next question was asking everyone what their opinion was on Kreon. One said that he was having to constantly defend himself for a crime did not commit. Also, everyone in my group pretty much agreed the Kreon would probably make a monarch than Oedipus, which is probably true because we know that or Oedipus doesn't really deserve that turbofan responsibility.
I can't really say anything about my last question because it never got answered. I didn't think it was a very good question anyways. I am looking forward to finding out how the play ends. Not sure why though because I'm not a big fan of Greek literature or theatre. But let's see what happens. :)
