Sophomore World Literature Extra Credit Opportunity
Hi. Second semester we read Oedipus; if you would like to attend a performance of this play and write a one page reaction to it, there will be some performances at Red Butte Garden in September. You can earn up to 50 points by attending the pre-show discussion, the play, and writing your reaction. The reaction page is very open-ended; you can focus on anything ranging from the story, to the characters, to the production, to the pre-show discussion. For more information about times and cost, see http://www.redbuttegarden.org/greek_theatre_2013.

In all I really enjoyed going to watch the performance; they put on a great show. The story is very interesting because I would have thought that Oedipus' adoptive dad would have kept tabs on him, since he was his only son, and made sure that he didn't get into any kind of trouble, but he just let him go. It' so fantastical to me that no one would have said anything because it was portrayed that every one knew that incest was happening: someone in an actual situation would have said something. Jocasta seemed to suspect that something was not right too, and I just think that everything had gone too far.
