Oedipus A Tragic Hero
1,149 wordsAccording to Aristotle Oedipus from the play Oedipus Rex by Sophocles is the ideal model of a classic tragic hero.

Notion That Language Nature Of Language Sign
1,597 wordsWithin many English departments around the country today, radical claims about the nature of language have entered into discussions about literary texts.
