Today we are working on the close readings/annotations that we started on Tuesday. These close readings are due at the end of the hour. Before you turn in your annotated passages, you will need to submit a literary claim about Oedipus Rex that is developed from your annotations. We practiced these on Monday with irony and motif.
Your claim must:
1. Address what you notice (What)
2. Address a literary device (How)
3. Address the implications of the use of this device in the literary text. (Why)
Example:
The characterization of Oedipus is set up in direct opposition to that of Creon in order to emphasize the weaknesses of Oedipus as a king and leader of Thebes.
Please submit your claim by the end of the hour.
FOR THURSDAY:
We will have a quiz over the entire play with a few literary devices questions. (Irony, motif, tragedy)
