  • dOES THIS VERSION HAVE ISMENE'S MONOLOGUE?

  • oh my god this is hilarious. the chorus is a bunch of old dudes! whaaaa! :D <3 love it

  • Is Oedipus actually a retard..? The guy spelled it out for him and Jocasta's reaction added to that.. And he's still going around with a big smiley head on himself with no clue..! Incestuous dumbass..!!

  • chorus cracks me up

  • E-DI-PUSS!

    you can't imagine what i thought in the last syllable.

  • Honestly I actually like the fact that Oedipus actually wears a suit. I keeps me entertained.

    Thank you for uploading this series.

  • "My wife is too scared of her blue blood!" The irony is so twisted and rich. Well done, Sophocles!

  • And Jocasta's just standing there, thinking, "Oh shit."

  • this play is goofy. the presentation is the wrong time period. no one wore suits then. lol...

  • 0:26 shit i just knocked up my son x.x

  • The ironic thing is, if they had never sent Oedipus to be killed, this would have NEVER happned.

  • @Hgirl4011 tragedy is wrought with irony.

  • hahaha omg. "look me in the eye" "/dramatic close-up"

  • OE-DI-PUS lmao

  • 0:27-0:32 "how else did you get your name? Eatee Puss" Don't mind if I do.

  • Oedipus obviously is a slow learner concerning finding out who he IS.... even if he did solve the Sphinx's riddle.

  • lol, if they had DNA testing at that time, Oedipus might have poked his eyes out sooner.

  • LOL how sympathic!

  • Or possibly tested his mother before marrying her, avoiding half the tragedy altogether.

  • I still say that Chorus is a woman in the story, because her text in the play states that Chorus is a woman.

  • Really? i just finished reading the book, and i didn't even realized that.

  • i have to watch this movie for my humanities class, and my teacher said there was no way to aviod this. i said "what if oedipus had just killed himself when he found out what he was going to do?"

    what do u think

  • lmao!!!

  • swollen ankles...he is skinny as a twig!

  • Oedipus---Saving your father and avoiding your mother... UR DOIN IT WRONG

  • Oh god the music is so cheezy (as is all 80's music) lolllll.

  • "I predict by prophecy or by common sense"

    heh heh

    common sense

  • i really dont like the chorus people aahhahha=))

  • Oedipus Rex is central to Aristotle's theory of "Tragedy"....and this scene is a nice example of agnorsis on the part of jocaste first and then oedipus.....who is recently blind though claiming to be a seer.....!

  • Poor Jocasta. The shaken woman looks in absolute shock and resignation.

  • "Your ankles are still swollen, Oedipus. I now becvause I can magically see through horrid white pants"

  • I wish Iocaste was hotter.

  • OE-DI-PUS...SWOL-LEN FOOT

    LOL

  • Dramatic irony at its best. =]

  • Oh Jocasta,

    Girl i would absolutely tear dat ass up !!!

  • Man its interesting how this is getting good. Oepidus finally finds out his secret its just crazy

  • This is great helps me so much with playing Jocasta and understnading the play.

  • lol man oedipus is such a idiot why dont any of em realise the truth earlier..thats wot i nevr got wen we studied it

  • I dont understand. She told them all how they got rid of their son on the mountain with the leather bound feet. Then the guy tells how he found him. And Oedisuckass can't put it together.

  • agreed

  • this is awesome. when we studied this in school i didn`t get a thing and now it all makes sense to me. thanx a lot for uploading. u should put more thing like this here:D thx good work :x

  • Same here lmao

  • eee--duu--puuus!!

    lol!

  • This is absolutely fantastic! And I especially love the handling of the choral odes - what a brilliant concept!
