Choose one topic from the following-
1. Write a persuasive essay of at least five paragraphs on the factors that have led Oedipus to his tragic end. Would you blame or exonerate him from his errors? Your essay should reflect evidence from the text and be free from errors of grammar, word choice, spelling, fluency, and punctuations. All the above will count toward your grade.
2. In a standard essay, express your view on the statement below: "Oedipus is a child of circumstance; he is not in control of his life." Find evidence and use logical connection to substantiate your position.
3. In an error-free essay, demonstrate how the cultural background of the Greek society in the real world reflects in the play Oedipus the King? Say what you would expect to be done differently and justify your view.
4. Is Oedipus a good man or a bad man? Write a standard essay that response to the question. Substantiate your argument with evidence from the text.
Using MLA format, type your essay and submit a hard copy of it. Proofread and edit your paper before submission. You may get help at the Writing Center in Locke Hall.
