CHOICES FOR TOPICS:
1) Are Oedipus' attempts to ecape his fate and search for the truth an attempt to be all-seeing and all knowing (like a god)? Or, does Oedipus actually gain stature because he is willing to do anything to escape his fate? In other words, do we respect his search for the truth, or look down on it?
2) What is the the role of the gods in this play? Are they interfering with the lives of mortals too much? Are they abusing their control? Or what?
3) If Oedipus is the protagonist, who is the antagonist? In other words, with whom is Oedipus in conflict with? Who is your nominee for the antagonist?
