Commentary Toward Books Oedipus Rex (The Theban Plays #1)

"...what man wins more happiness than just its shape and the ruin when that shape collapses?" Sophocles' Oedipus Rex has never been surpassed for the raw and terrible power with which its hero struggles to answer the eternal question, "Who am I?" The play, a story of a king who acting entirely in ignorance kills his father and marries his mother, unfolds with shattering power; we are helplessly carried along with Oedipus towards the final, horrific truth. To make Oedipus more accessible for the modern reader, our Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Classics includes a glossary of the more difficult words, as well as convenient sidebar notes to enlighten the reader on aspects that may be confusing or overlooked. We hope that the reader may, through this edition, more fully enjoy the beauty of the verse, the wisdom of the insights, and the impact of the drama.

Crit Based On Books Oedipus Rex (The Theban Plays #1)

honestly, I feel bad for Oedipus. He left his house to do the right thing and try to avoid killing his dad, just to come across his real dad and kill him anyway. It's really unfortunate and it really sucks for him. And then he had to go and skewer his eyeballs like yikes he's not having a good time, is he ?RIP Oedipus eyes, I'm sorry this happened to you. Honestly, I know this play is super tragic, and it actually is interesting how he tried to avoid his fate which led to him fulfilling it

Thebai halkı hastalık, kıtlık, ölü doğan çocuklar gibi büyük felaketlerle boğuşmaktadır. Thebai'nin Kral'ı Oidipus güçlü, dürüst ve adil bir adamdır. Sarayının önüne gelip ondan çare bulmasını bekleyen halka elinden geleni yapacağını söyler, öyle de yapar. Öğreneceklerinin başına ne belalar açacağını nereden bilsin? Tam bir facia!Kitabı hala okumamış olanlar önsözü kitabı bitirdikten sonra okursa çok daha iyi olur, yoksa kitabın sonunu okumuş olmak keyfinizi epey kaçırabilir. Epeydir okumayı

Fear? What has a man to do with fear? Chance rules our lives, and the future is all unknown. Best live as we may, from day to day.

I'd say "spoiler alert" but it seems ridiculous . . . I've taught this play for years, and I think this year I finally decided what makes this play great. My students never feel sympathy for Macbeth, but they do for Oedipus, and that always used to bother me. They whine in their teenage attitudinal voices, "But he didn't know that was his father." I always respond, "So it's ok to KILL PEOPLE if they're not your father?!" In identifying with Oedipus, they forget the nature of the atrocities he

I'm being irreverent, but whenever I think of this work I cannot help recalling Mel Brooks in History of the World Part 1. Apart from the legendary, and infamous, incest, this is an ancient tale of psychological terror and angst. Human nature does not change and the themes Sophocles explored are still relevant today, this is truly a timeless work.

نمايشنامه ى مشهور اديپ شهريار يكى از بزرگترين تراژدى هاى يونان باستان.از لحاظ داستان واقعاً اعجاب انگيزه. داستان ابتدا با معمايى شروع ميشه كه نجات شهر "تِبس" از نابودى به حل اون بسته است ولى هيچ كس جوابش رو نميدونه. بعد كم كم كه معما حل ميشه پاسخ وحشتناك و تراژيكش آشكار ميشه و نجات شهر از نابودى به بهاى بسيار سنگينى حاصل ميشه. اين روش طرح معما و حل مرحله به مرحله ش بسيار شبيه به داستان هاى جنايى امروزيه و از خيلى از اين داستان ها به مراتب بهتره.اما اثر طبعاً به مقتضاى زمان نگارشش مشكلات خودش رو

Chi tra gli umani, chi riceve più felicità di quanta ne basti per sembrare felice? .Mi sono ritrovata a voler rileggere questo dramma, affrontato più volte sui banchi di scuola, per i numerosi richiami che Pamuk ne fa nel suo la donna dai capelli rossi. Volevo capire lossessione che il personaggio ha per questo mito e niente è meglio che ritornare sui propri passi. Edipo è larchetipo del male, che si perpetua senza coscienza, luomo che uccide senza saperlo il padre, colui che lo ha generato,
