Q: as one of the questions on our homework...we had: "Argue that Oedipus is a victim of his character flaws rather than just fate, and this is what leads to his downfall and the downfall of the society".
Now I did put in some of his major character flaws that made his downfall so tragic (ie. arrogance, pride, over-confidence, a hot temper)
But any of your suggestions would be highly appreciated...
thnx a lot
He never listened, that's a key element in the play. Many people tried to tell him what was going on and he never listened. That of course comes from a combination of arrogance, pride, overconfidence and a hot temper, so it gives you much to discuss.
This is going to be one late homework assignment.
Yes, I think you got it. I'm not sure there are any others.Originally Posted by Enchanted
