1. Review Aristotle's conventions of Tragedy... Character.. Plot... Definition.
2. Application of Aristotle's conventions back to Oedipus Rex.
How does Oedipus function as an Aristotelian Tragic Hero?
How does the plot of Oedipus Rex function as an Aristotelian Tragedy? How do you see the conventions of mimesis, hamartia, peripetia, pathos, anagnorisis, and katharsis within the structure of the play?
3. Homework:
Verbal Irony: Contrast between what is said and what is meant.
Used intentionally by the speaker.
Dramatic Irony: When the audience is aware of something that the characters are not.
Tragic irony occurs when a character in a play does or says something that
communicates a meaning unknown to her but recognized by the audience.
Situational Irony: It involves a discrepancy between what is expected to happen and
what actually happens. Occurs when the exact opposite of what is meant
to happen, happens.
How do we see the three types of IRONY in Oedipus Rex?
