Outrageous Oedipus
At the moment I am very grateful that I am in Drama, otherwise I would not have understood the assigned reading for tomorrow's class quite as well. It's as if I'm reading an ancient script to a soap opera. Woman seduces man into having sexual intercourse by getting him drunk; they send the kid off; kid comes back kills father (not that he knows that); kid is now a man and marries mother and the whole town goes to waste because of one family's wrong doing. (that last sentence was constructed horribly, but I wasn't sure how else to do it.)

I am not in Drama and i kind of wish i was so i had this background the drama students had. Andrea, this is a well put "summary" though and the last sentence is definatly true. Basically this entire family is the cause of the problems for this city. Due to a prophecy given one family causes troubles for EVERYONE. I don't believe this is fair for the innocent people. =[
