Welcome to Week 6 of our online course. This week will be exploring one of the great tragedies of Western literature, Oedipus the King. I look forward to reading your comments in the discussion board as we examine the complex character of the doomed king and ponder timeless questions about the human condition. There is no quiz this week. Essay Introduction is due Sunday, March 5. See Activity 4 on the Week 5 page for directions. Please be sure to directly address the prompt in the discussion boards. Many of you are doing exactly this, but I’ve noticed a number of discussion posts that do not respond to the prompt. In ENG 201, we are developing analytical skills. Recapping of the plot is unnecessary and doesn’t generate interesting conversation.
