Was Oedipus wise to ignore the advice of Teiresias and continue to insist that he and he alone could control the fate of Thebes? How do his actions exemplify “hubris”? Are Antigone’s actions right or just? Does she, too, exhibit hubris?
·      Write a paragraph in the voice of Oedipus justifying his actions.
·      Write a second paragraph in the voice of Teiresias, commenting on the consequences of Oedipus’s actions.
·      Write a third paragraph in Antigone’s voice, explaining her actions.

If you read the play by Shakespeare:
The definition of tragic hero is a person who has a tragic flaw, someone who has the knowledge to avoid tragic consequences but does not act on the knowledge.  Some readers/audiences/directors have thought the character of Othello is tragic in this way. Others have not. These others think Othello’s fate is sad, but not tragic, because these readers/audiences/directors think Othello does not have the necessary knowledge to avoid his fate. Which position do you take? Write a paragraph justifying your position.
