In the last 2 week my ability to read poems has improved significantly When starting to read poems i would let the word play and symbols go over my head without understanding the meaning of each word but now i pay close attention to the small details and word play in certain lines. This experience can help me with reading oedipus the king by getting to understand theme like fate and self discovery, for example like sylvia plaths poem Mirror they both have to deal with self awareness and confrontation.
One thought on “Ronald Peralta”
Ronald, I’m glad you feel that your ability to read poetry has improved, but you’ve got to give us more than this. I’d like to hear more specifics, for example, about the connection you see between Oedipus the King and Sylvia Plath’s poem. (Also, your post does not meet length requirements).
