if I had to rate my ability to understand the play Oedipus the King I would rate myself a 5 or 6 out of 10. I think I was good at understanding what was going on to a certain extent however the way that the story is told and the vocabulary that is used makes it difficult to notice what is happening. the overall vocabulary and the way the story was written in really long paragraphs made it difficult for me to keep up with the story. if I had to be honest I didn’t like reading this play because it was confusing however taking the time to dissect each paragraph somehow still made the experience memorable. If I could play someone in a production of this play I think I would want to portray Creon because I found it interesting how he was content with not wanting to be king and found the life of being a king to be burdensome.

Hi Paola i totally agree with you Understanding the play’s words and how it’s told was tough, but going through it bit by bit made it stick in your mind. If I had to rate how I got it, I’d go with a similar score thinkung. While getting it all was tricky, digging into the deep stuff was cool, playing Creon in a show sounds interesting, considering his inter struggles.
