Oedipus the King essay

The students completed the following assignment in class on Tuesday:

In many plays a character has a misconception of himself or his world. Destroying or perpetuating this illusion contributes to a central theme of the play. Choose a play with a major character to whom this statement applies, and write an essay in which you consider the following:

  • What the character’s illusion is and how it differs from reality as presented in the play;
  • How the destruction or perpetuation of the illusion develops a theme of the play.

Do not merely retell the story.

You MUST choose one of the following works:
