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:
Oedipus the King

I think we should be able to pick one of our essays and re-write it now having thought about it more. This way we know what we are talking about and we can focus on how to clearly depict our thoughts onto paper by being very specific and organized. Sometimes it is hard to think of what to write real quick and organize our thought process in such a short amount of time. This would help us practice both things for our exam.
