Amy's review
Oedipus Rex - Literary Touchstone Edition by Sophocles
Can I just say that I am weary of this play and of greek theatre. I am tired of the chorus, though they have some beautiful poetry. I am tired of analysing fate vs agency. I am tired of plucking out eyes. I have read this book almost every semester of college and once in high school. That makes 7 times! And i've seen it twice. I hate the part when he plucks out his eyes. I know it is an obligatory act and it is greek tradition not to show the act its self, but he always comes out at the end with blood all over his face. It is a classic and it is wonderful, but I hope i wont have to read it again for a while.
