If I had to rate the way that I read/understand Oedipus the King, I would rate myself with a 6/10. The play is very interesting, that is something that I liked. Every character brings something different to the story. However, there were a lot of parts when I found myself confused. The vocabulary used in the story is complex, so a lot of times I had to go back and read through lines very carefully to understand. I loved to participate in the reading as well. I feel like I was playing the actual role in the play lol. Overall, it’s a very interesting reading but challenging as well. I also believe that the fact that it is a long story may have confused a few people in the class just as I was, because we had to read the story in parts. That confused me because by the time we were able to read the next part in the next class I already forgot what we had read in the past class. The character that I would choose would be Jocasta. Because she was so caring and wanted to understand Oedipus every time. I liked her role a lot, I think that she contributed a lot to the development of the story.

Hello Gabriela Seeing your perspective on which character you would prefer to play as and why is quite interesting. I agree that some of the vocabulary was confusing, in fact, I had to read some of the material again to be sure I understood it. As you mentioned, the reading was lengthy, making it rather difficult to follow along. Overall, I appreciate your response and was relieved to see that I wasn’t the only one having trouble with the vocabulary.
