Dawn Delfino Discussion 8

I would rate my ability to read and understand Oedipus the King a 6/10 because I*m still getting a bit confused on how the play was worded. I feel the beginning of the play was much easier to understand then the end.  I feel I was able to read the play and understood parts of it but others not so much.  If it weren’t for Professor Conway stopping us and going thru the lines and explaining what was happening, I wouldn’t have been able to break it down that way on my own.  There is a much deeper meaning to this play and I’m glad she stopped us; I enjoyed it better!!!  If I had to choose a character to portray, I would choose Creon, because he seemed to appreciate what he had, unlike Oedipus who didn’t. At least Creon seemed happy with what he had, and I would rather live my life like that.
