Remember, your Reading Workshop Questions were due yesterday, so if you have not already turned yours in, please do so ASAP!
After we have finished reading and discussing Scene 4- Ode 4, we will do a brief journal exercise.
Respond to the following prompt, and then submit your answer using the form below.
Oedipus Journal:
Imagine that you are any character up to this point in the play. Create a journal entry from that character’s point of view. In your journal, discuss your reaction to the play so far. How do you feel about the things that have been happening? How do you feel about the way Oedipus has treated those who have delivered information to him (Creon, Tieresias, Messenger from Corinth, Shepherd, Jocasta)?How do you feel about Oedipus in general? What do you think about Oedipus’ birth? Do you believe the oracles? How do you think this will end? Keep in mind that you are writing from the perspective of a person in ancient Greece: the language should match.
*If you choose to write from Oedipus’ view, detail how you’re feeling about everything that is going on. How do you feel about all of the information you’ve been given thus far? Who do you trust and why? What is your plan for the future?
Characters to Consider:
- Jocasta
- Oedipus
- Creon
- Corinthian Messenger
- Tieresias
- Choragos
- Other Thebans
- Shepherd
