Week 8

I would rate my ability to understand “Oedipus the King” as fairly strong. I’m good at grasping the main plot and themes of the play, such as fate, hubris, and the consequences of one’s actions. However, I might find some of the language and cultural references challenging to fully grasp without additional context. Overall, I enjoyed reading the play for its gripping storyline and complex characters. If I had to portray a character, I would choose Oedipus because of his dramatic arc and the opportunity to explore the depths of his character’s journey from confidence to despair, which would be a challenging and rewarding role to tackle.
