The Odyssey Zeus

The Odyssey Zeus

1. In The Odyssey Zeus complains to Athena, “What a lamentable thing it is that men should blame the gods and regard us as the source of their troubles, when it is their own wickedness that brings them sufferings worse than any which Destiny allots them.”

• Take a position in regard to this as it applies to Oedipus Rex.

• You have two options: Your essay agrees with Zeus, gives reasons why, and cites examples to validate those reasons, or your essay disagrees with Zeus, gives reasons why, and cites examples to validate those reasons.

• Be sure to address the role and function of dramatic irony and “tragic flaw” in your discussion.

• Do not retell the story of the play. Make references to specifics in the play to validate the essay’s points, but do not retell it.

Or

2. Consider the viewers/readers of Oedipus Rex. Divide them according to age: a young person, a middle aged person, an old person. (Remember the riddle of the sphinx? “What walks in the morning on four legs, at noon on two, and in the evening−three?”) .
• Select one of these three ages.
• Specifically address and argue (persuade) the following:
What specific things in the play would that particular person at that particular age notice, appreciate, and value?
• Give reasons why a person at that stage in his/her life would find those specific things of compelling interest and value. Argue in a way that is persuasive and convincing.
• Be sure to address the role and function of dramatic irony and “tragic flaw” in your discussion.
• Do not retell the story of the play. Make references to specifics in the play to validate the essay’s points, but do not retell it.

Or

3. Identify and argue (using brief citations from the play) the theme, aka the message or dominant idea, expressed by the characters and conflicts within the play Triffles or in the play POOF!I Choose one of the plays, not both.
