Beginning Of The Play Oedipus Rex
1,365 words
In the play Medea, the character gives many hints
throughout the play of her final act of vengeance.

seek revenge also builds inside of her. The first
signs of Medea's potential behavior appear at the
beginning of the play when the Nurse tells how
Medea is terribly hurt. The Nurse says of Medea's
behavior, But Medea lies in the house, broken with
pain and rage; she will neither eat nor drink (I

Fascination With Death Father In Law
1,502 words
Sophocles is very concise in laying out the issues
of the play and the values most cherished by his
characters. In the argument between Antigone and
Ismene, Ismene seems doubly powerless. She
provides a contrast to her stronger sister
throughout the play. Though she is saddened by the
fate of Polyneices' body, she does not believe
that there is anything she can do. She reminds
Antigone that they are only women and are
relatively helpless. Though she is sorry to be
unable to help her brother, she...

... enter. Medea, a woman who honors the ways
upheld by the old, now 'foreign' gods, represents
forces that the Athenians were increasingly
overlooking. Jason's suffering at her hands
displays some of the consequences of a
self-assured civilization's blindness to the power
of its repressed values. While the cultural
resonance of Medea's characters will be explored
more in the succeeding commentary, it should
simply be recognized here that Jason's perspective
bears more than a personal prejudice;...

description of the fall of Troy the Greeks and the
Trojans are likened to oil and water (which do not
mix when added to each other) and she speaks of

temples, perhaps because of her wish that
Agamemnon return home so she may have her revenge.

Agamemnon's first act upon arriving safely back in
Argos is to praise the gods which is the correct
thing to do; he does not boast and happily

the Chorus serves several purposes in Euripides
tragedy, The Medea. It allows us to sympathize
with Medea in spite of her tragic flaws. It also
foreshadows the tragic events that will come to

Act 1 Scene Oedipus Rex

Macbeth show to what extent you think Shakespeare
followed and built upon the classical tradition of
dramatic tragedy. In this essay I will be
comparing the Shakespearian tragedy Macbeth to an
example of Greek tragedy, Oedipus Rex. The fall of
Macbeth is very different from that of Oedipus.
Macbeth's downfall is due to his own personal
decisions but in Oedipus case his downfall was due
to nothing but fate and the will of the gods and
so it was unavoi...

there exists a situation among mortals which has
gotten out of control; a cycle of death has arisen
in the house of Atreus. There also exists a divine
disorder within the story which, as the situation
of the mortals, must be brought to resolution: the
Furies, an older generation of gods, are in
