Oedipus Rex

The title of "Antigone" holds significant meaning as it is the name of the play's protagonist, Antigone, who is a central character in the story. Antigone's unwavering determination to uphold divine law over human law drives the conflict and themes of the play. The title serves to highlight Antigone's defiance against authority and her tragic fate as she stands up for her beliefs. Overall, the title encapsulates the central conflict and moral dilemmas explored in the play.

Oedipus is more concerned about his daughters, Antigone and Ismene, than his sons, Polynices and Eteocles, because in ancient Greek society, daughters were seen as extensions of their fathers' honor and reputation. The daughters' actions and well-being reflected directly on the father's standing in the community. Additionally, the daughters were responsible for carrying on the family lineage and ensuring the family's legacy, which was crucial in a patriarchal society like ancient Greece. Oedipus may also feel a sense of guilt and responsibility towards his daughters due to his own tragic fate and the repercussions it had on his family.

Oedipus' confrontations with Tiresias and Creon in Sophocles' play "Oedipus Rex" reveal his stubbornness, arrogance, and quick temper. His interactions with Tiresias, the blind prophet, demonstrate Oedipus' refusal to accept the truth and his tendency to lash out when faced with uncomfortable realities. Similarly, his conflicts with Creon, his brother-in-law, highlight Oedipus' paranoia and distrust of those around him. Overall, these confrontations showcase Oedipus' tragic flaw of hubris, which ultimately leads to his downfall.

In Sophocles' play "Oedipus Rex," Jocasta is the wife of King Laius and later marries Oedipus, her son. Jocasta's age is not explicitly stated in the play, but she is typically depicted as being older than Oedipus. Given the societal norms of the time, it can be inferred that Jocasta is likely in her middle-aged years.

A. Oedipus marries his mother, bearing four children with her, after killing his father, the previous King of Thebes.

The Oedipus complex is believed to be caused by a child's unconscious desire for the parent of the opposite sex, along with feelings of rivalry and hostility towards the parent of the same sex. Sigmund Freud proposed that this complex emerges during the phallic stage of psychosexual development, typically between the ages of 3-6 years old. It is considered a normal part of child development according to psychoanalytic theory.

According to the chorus in the play 'Antigone', curses have staying power. Such a curse enters the house of the Labdacidae from which Antigone descends through her father, King Oedipus. The King commits the serious crime of parricide when he kills King Laius, who is his father albeit unknowingly. Likewise, in killing the king, he commits the equally serious offense of regicide. These crimes are compounded by his marrying King Laius' widow, Queen Jocasta, who is Oedipus' mother albeit unknowingly. For all of these unintentional offenses against god and nature, King Oedipus and Queen Jocasta are punished, to the anger and scorn of all those who know or hear of them. The insight from the Oedipus plays therefore is the inevitability of divine punishment and divine retribution for all human errors, be they unknowingly or knowingly committed. Any punishment and any settling of old scores therefore are guaranteed all the more, and ever more harshly and severely, for the knowing, deliberate and consensual human errors in the play 'Antigone'.

Yes, Creon accuses both Teiresias and the guard of accepting bribes. He accuses Teiresias of being motivated by money in his prophecy, and he accuses the guard of being bribed by someone to bury Polynices.

Romeo and Juliet are portrayed as being truly in love in William Shakespeare's play, as they are willing to go to great lengths and face great risks to be together. Their love is described as passionate and intense, but also impulsive and ultimately tragic.

"Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love story written by William Shakespeare about two young star-crossed lovers from feuding families in Verona. Their forbidden love leads to a series of tragic events that ultimately unite the Montagues and Capulets in grief."

Romeo is the boy, and Juliet is the girl in the tragic love story of "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare. They come from feuding families, the Montagues and the Capulets, and their love ultimately leads to their tragic demise.

I went home, I thought about it. My was in the kitchen preparing our lunch nd dad was not at home. I went closer and hugged her from behind. She did not take it much offensive, and only simply told me to leave her as she is busy. I remained glued to her body from behind in my tight embrace to her.I was already very hard holding her . My erection was hitting on her heavy buttocks over our clothes.. She looked at me and smiled as she understood my physical state then.The moment she smiled at me,I felt little encouraged, and I shifted my hands and cupped her 36" size breasts and gently began to pump them slowly-slowly.That was the only risk on the first day. My mom finding no other way to get free from my tight hug, gave her consent to jerk me there itself.I stood proudly with my erection, and my mom jerked me expertly shaking and squeezing the last drop out of me.

That was the beginning. I began to go to her freuqently to kitchen when dad leaves for office.Within a months time I was free to touch her every where, also enjoyed moving naked at home in the presence of my mom only.I was hardly 17yrs, when I got my mom's blessings in the form of allowance to have sex with her.

So I think mom's can approached honestly and innocently.

Oedipus never insisted that it was better to live blind than to die. But he did say that he blinded himself because:

"What use had I for eyes? Nothing I could see would bring me joy."

"What was there for me to look at, to speak to, to love? What joyful word can I expect to hear, my friends? Take me away, out of this country, quickly, take me away. I am lost, accursed and hated by the gods beyond all other men."

So what he's saying is that he is doom-fated and not even sight would bring him joy.

Abraham is a minor character in William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." He is a servant of the Capulet family and is involved in the opening scene's brawl with the Montagues. Abraham's loyalty to his master, Sampson, contributes to the ongoing feud between the two families.

When Juliet is talking with Paris about the upcoming wedding and she says "What must be shall be" (4.1.21). This use of tautology or circular reasoning also foreshadows fate and is another example of what Juliet and Romeo will do to be together.

In loving memory of Romeo Montague who died suddenly by committing suicide by poison in the Capulet Monument next to his dead wife. Who later on when he was about to drink the poison came back to life and saw Romeo dead.

From 10 am to 7p.m Friday-Monday funeral at the Verona united church. Being berried at the Montague tomb.

But from bad comes good as the, horrifying, death of Romeo has settled the feud between the two richest families in Verona, The Capulets and The Montagues. From centuries before to Tybalt, Mercutio, Romeo and Juliet death. They still argue after Mercutio and Tybalts death, and then was all settles after "the two star crossed lovers" died.

Balthasar is Romeo's servant in Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." He plays a minor role, conveying information to Romeo that ultimately leads to tragic consequences. Balthasar is loyal to Romeo and tries to help him throughout the play.

During the classical time period, new literary forms developed such as epic poetry (e.g. Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey"), drama (e.g. Greek tragedies and comedies), and philosophical dialogues (e.g. Plato's works). These forms helped shape the foundation of Western literature and continue to influence storytelling today.

Romeo and Friar John are not related. Friar John is a Franciscan friar who was supposed to deliver an important letter from Friar Laurence to Romeo, but he was unable to do so due to being quarantined during a plague outbreak.

Mercutio is Romeo's close friend and a witty, quick-witted and hot-tempered young man in Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." His spirited personality serves as a foil to Romeo's more romantic and introspective nature. Mercutio's death at the hands of Tybalt is a turning point in the play.

Romeo had not been talking to anyone and seemed distracted.

In Mantua, Romeo's servant Balthasar arrives and tells Romeo that Juliet is dead. Romeo vows to see Juliet in her tomb and poison himself there, buying the poison from a poor Apothecary who illegally sells it to Romeo only because he (the Apothecary) needs the money. At Lawrence's cell, Friar John reports he could not deliver the letter to Romeo since he (John) got stuck in a quarantined house while searching for Romeo. Friar Lawrence heads to the cemetery with a crowbar. At the tomb, Paris and his page arrive and Paris mourns Juliet's death. Paris hides when he hears Romeo and Balthasar approach. Romeo orders Balthasar to leave him alone, no matter what he hears. When Romeo opens the tomb, Paris steps out and tries to stop him by provoking him to fight. Romeo entreats Paris to simply walk away and not fight, but Paris forces Romeo to fight him, resulting in Romeo slaying Paris. In sorrow, Romeo lays Paris in the tomb, while Paris' page secretly leaves to call the watch. Romeo finds Juliet and mourns her death, then drinks his poison and dies. Outside the tomb, Friar Lawrence arrives and meets Balthasar who tells the Friar that Romeo has been in the tomb for one half hour. Lawrence enters the tomb and finds Romeo and Paris dead. Juliet then awakes and spots Romeo. The Friar, upon hearing noises outside flees, leaving Juliet with Romeo. Juliet tries to kill herself with Romeo's poison, but can find none, either in the vial or on Romeo's lips. In desperation, she stabs herself with Romeo's dagger. The watch arrives, having found Balthasar and the Friar. The Prince and Lord and Lady Capulet arrive and learn Paris, Romeo, and Juliet are dead (amazingly to them, Juliet seems to have been alive, and then newly dead again). Lord Montague arrives and reports that his wife has died from grief over Romeo's exile, then learns himself of Romeo's death. Capulet and Montague make peace and swear to never fight again. They vow to build solid gold statues of Romeo and Juliet and place them side by side so all can remember their plight.

The short form: Romeo and Juliet both kill themselves and their parents decide to reconcile as a result.
