A1 : I think Oedipus has a very tragic fast, because his father wants to eschew his fate. But in the end of the story he still gets his unlucky fate. He kills his father then he marries with his mother. His father, Laius should not go to the oracle and believes what the oracle says to him. The oracle said Laius will be killed by his son, then after he hear that he talk to someone to kill Oedipus, his son but the soldier doesn’t kill him. What the oracle said is come true. As we know like suggestion, when we believe with something, it can be happen. From this story we learn to believe in God, don’t believe in oracle.

A2 : Every man story is about the man who has different character that don’t follow God rule. They want to look for happiness in this world and they don’t care about the others. They don’t care about morality and what God wants. So, the author imagines people in this world as everyman.

A3 : Hmmmmmmm. I still confuse to answer this question.

A4 : I don’t think so, like Ashely said, no body perfect. So I what Brutus did to Julius is big mistake. Not only that he accused Julius Caesar too. Although Julius Caesar did a mistake, we shouldn’t kill him. They can found the other solution.

Q1: What is so tragic about Oedipus fate? Why did it happen? (Oedipus The King)

A1: In my opinion, Oedipus fate is really tragic, because he is trying to escape the curse that he thought he was in, which is killing his adopted father and marrying his adopted mother. in the end he did not run away from it, quite the contrary actually, he smash it right in the head by killing his biological father which is Laius, and marrying his own mother Jocasta. so its like trying to escape from a crocodile mouth but jumping right to the lion nest. furthermore he said that when he found the murderer of his father, he will exiled him. turns out he blinded himself and exiled himself, tragic huh

Q2: How does Everyman match with morality drama characterization? (Everyman)

A2: i think its because it tells of a story of men who have different personality, trait, and sin who will not follow the path of righteus, and the author wants the opposite which is following Gods path

Q3: How Does personification play a great role in this play? (Everyman)

A3: Even tough the 7 deadly sins do not included in the play, but the play does borrow the technique and personifies such abstracts as Beauty, Intelligence, Fellowship, and Good Works.

Q4: Does assassinating a leader for the good of the people constitute bravery worthy of a tragic hero or can the end never justify the means? (Julius Caesar)

A4: it is worthy, a hero will do anything that he believes true and just. but in julius case brutus was tricked and decieved, so he is a hero for his own country, and he is tragic because he was tricked to believe that what he did was justice

DISCUSSION 1.


Oedipus has imprecation when his was born. his parents (Laius and Jocasta) throwed away him another country. Actually, that was not throwed away, his parents thought Oedipus was already death because Oedipus' imprecation is he will kill his father and he will get marriged with his mother. His parents really don't want to it will be true, so they tried to kill Oedipus. However, He still lived another country and when He grown up he met his parents. Oedipus fell in love with his mother. His father and him fought because both of them wanna get one woman's love Finally, Oedipus killed his father because of his mother. His mother and Oedipus had a baby. and they knew that they are real mother and son. His mother really wanna keep this secret, Oedipus can't accept this happening. He lost his family because of him. this is a tragic about Oedipus' fate.


DISCUSSION 2.

'Everyman' has to go to meet God. Everyman already knew that he will be die then, he wanna find friends who can accompany him to meet God. Everyman met a lot of friends during going to God and he asked them follow him. the important thing is those friends' name are very familer to us. 'fellowship, kindred, cousin, Knowledge, beauty,. etc' those of things always tempted us and we also really wanna get those of things. they are really sweet when we live on the earth but, we can see the situation of Everyman they didn't wanna follow him. but, good deeds is the only one who want to follow Everyman. why, author wrote their name are like this? In my opinion, people made a lot of crime and no rule to them very free at Mediecval England. so, author wanted say that is not what God wanted.


DISCUSSION 3.

I don't think so. Everybody is not perfect so, we can not say that Brutus' decision was correct. I think it can make Roma is better city If Brutus did not kill Julius caesar and He would be the only one King. and Of cause we can not kill anybody with any reason. that is God's work.





P.S : ma'am I am not sure that I really understood your Question.....;
But, I did my best thanks
