Today we watched the very end of Oedipus, available HERE (we watched section 10). We considered this adaptation, its differences and similarities with the play.
We discussed the essay by Bernard Knox, "The Last Scene." This was a piece of literary criticism, that while difficult to understand at first, is really important for improving our reading of high-level texts.
Tonight you will read another piece of literary criticism by Bruce Bower, "The Oedipus Complex: A Theory Under Fire." Tomorrow you will have your first Socratic Seminar. Participation requires completion of THIS ticket.
