Oedipus' Oblivious Origin Lead to Overwhelming and Outrageous Outcome


To be honest when I first heard that we were going to be working on drama and reading plays, I was quite intimidated. I stepped out of my comfort zone and overcame my fear (not by choice - lol), and now have become a big fan and love Drama! I really enjoyed reading the play Oedipus. I think the best part was the dramatic irony in the play. It was really cool how the audience already knew the truth and to see how it all unfolded at the end. In a way, you almost felt like you were part of the story. I truly was sympathetic for Oedipus because while he swore to revenge his father's killer, he had no idea that when the truth finally became known, he would have to punish himself. I would definitely recommend others to read this play.
