1. What is so tragic about Oedipus fate? Why did it happen? (Oedipus The King)
It feels so tragical because both Oedipus and his parents want to avoid the oracle that Oedipus will kill his father and marry his mother but in the end it happened exactly like the oracle. Oedipus' parents avoided it by trying to kill him which supposed to be done by a courier, but the courier felt pity of Oedipus and let him go. Later, when Oedipus grew up and become a man, he wanted to avoid the oracle by running away to other country, which happened to be his biological parents' country.

2. How does Everyman match with morality drama characterization? (Everyman)
'Everyman' is searching for God. and during his journey to meet God, 'Everyman' met a lot of things that make him learn a lot that maybe the true and pure love can be given only by God.

3. How Does personification play a great role in this play? (Everyman)
The author use personification like Beauty, Intelligence, Fellowship, and Good Works as the names for the friends 'everyman' asked to accompany him, but none of them will. whic means that the pleasures like that aren't eternity or loyal. they can please you when you want to be pleased but you can't count on them when you need them.

4. 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)
Yes, i think it's worth it. Doing something good doesn't mean you need praise or something like that as a reward for doing it.
