[lemon1668]

why is Creon away from Thebes when the story opens?

[JDawg65A]

Ok, i got a project due in a few days...Can anyone tell me y did oedipus decided to blind himself and what meaning did it have for the choice of surgical instrument used to blot out his own eyeballs?

[dimalex8]

because he didnt wanna see what he have done, it was an action to redeem himself from this hybreis he done.

[uranis30]

@JDawg65A

The most common interpretation of his action is that he had to pay the prize for knowledge, for messing with the Gods laws that prohibit the murder of the parents and incest. In Lacanian terms, however, we say the "gaze"'s reconfirmation, it's those things that he saw and shouldn't have seen (his mother as a wife) that make him want to pull his eyes out because he didn't see -the truth- when he was supposed to. In gender/sex studies terms it's the relocation of his malformed

@JDawg65A

subjectivity, Given that the symbolic phallus exists always, his penis couldn't longer fulfill this task of being it, (he has 4 children with his M/Other). So, to get his masculinity (and the symbolic level of the phallus) back he had to lose his eyesight, because that action confirms that he is a masculine. He could longer face anyone because he did what no man should have ever done. But he still is a man and he needs to response to this situation. I.e. Ettinger's responsability.

[dmmversion1]

what assumptions does the chorus make about the relationship between the human and gods? im lost

[1932TRUJILLO1]

[DrVegasIII]

exactly - I guess they had tailored white tuxedos in ancient Greece lol!!!!

[shadowace421]

yea i know, its like hes the king of pimps or something. Good going Oedipus, your a pimp all right, marrying your own mother and...

[m16kidd]

Who can give me 2 examples on how Oedipus had pride, which led to his downfall?

[Sjalvastefan]

It was Oedipus's pride that made him instigate and follow through the invistigation; which concluded with the recognition of his actions and his eventual downfall.

3 times people warned him against continuing the investigation yet he continued because of his pride.

However; it was fate and not his pride that led to his downfall.

[djlazyjerk]

they may seem to be in order, but when they were written they were written to be independent of each other

[Obscfror13]

nice. i had to watch this for a class i'm taking but i love the greek plays. i've read Antigone wich is like after this right? but yeah this is great. thanks.

[TheRobbEllisonShow]

[meaninglessmovies]

Thanks for posting this! Saved me the trouble of reading it for college. They'll never know! ha. Thanks again

[adethian24]

LMAO, I just had to read Oedipus and write a paper on the story.

[iamjustinsameman]

they didn't have suits and hair salons back then!

[adethian24]

LMAO, I was just thinking the exact same thing!

[Jellybeans392]

agh i dont understand whats going on

[CDMfan05]

Hmm, I wonder why they had to put a group of men to be the chorus of the play? That was stupid to me to see that. At least they did get a chance to explain what they were doing.

[burninup4jonasboyz]

[kaylanotebook]

[UnklRudi]

Is there a part 1?

You might consider putting these all into a playlist so viewers can watch in sequence. Just a suggestion. Thanks for posting.

[ShakespeareAndMore]

in the "info" section, upper right-hand corner, click on "more info" and you will find the link to a playlist of all 12 parts.

[BabyBlue75090]

its a link right bacc to this page..

[ShakespeareAndMore]

I tried link and it went to some strange page, because YouTube put a space between two letters that shouldn't have one.

I then went to try and correct it, and it was fine and worked! So it seems a typical YouTube fickle affair....if link doesn't work, just look it up in my playlists.

[marwansonia]
