  1. I expect to see the moral or message at the end of the play. I also know that our hero in the play must a flaw in his character. This will eventually be his tragic downfall. Also, the play is sure to have some evil character that will try to destroy the hero. Thier will also be a chorus of people. The play should also have adventure and lessons in it.

  2. In Oedipus i expect to see many elements of greek theatre. It should show a part of religon, loyal to the citystate, and honor local heroes. There should be no violence on the set. Also i'm expecting to see him, Oedipus as a trajic hero. This means he should not be considered good or bad. Its to teach the audience more of a lesson. Lastly I expect to see masks and other old greek traditions.

  4. I expect Oedipus to be entertaining. It should show part in religion, loyality to citystate, and it should honor local heroes. There should be no violence shown. The tragic hero shouldn't be good or bad. The fall of the tragic hero should be because of a flaw within there own character.

  5. I expect there to be some sort of comedy. Although not too much because of the time it was written. I think it's going to be a tradgedy for the most part. It will probably have some sort of evil plot and a good side with the king in the middle. I've never read this book or much greek literature. Therefore, i don't know much of what to expect.

  6. I think Oedipus is going to be similar to the other stories in Greek theater. For example, since its a BIG theater there will be a lot over acting. All violent acts will be done off on the stage. Over sized masks will be used. Also back then there were only male actors. there will be big choirs with one or two main characters. The main character(s) will often break character to narrate whats occuring in the show.

  7. i expect Oedipus to be a tradgy since most Greeks plays are tragic. Overexaggerated masks and costumes would be used. There will also be big choirs and a solo main character. Males will only be the ones acting. There is a huge audience and the only type of lighting is natural. A single person will narrate the deaths and other important scenes not acted out on stage.

  9. I expect to see a orchestra, a theatron, a parados and a skene. The actors are going to wear a chiton and also a cothurnai. There is going to be a lot of props used. There is probably going to be alot of masks used to show different characters. That's about all I expect to see in Oedipus.

  11. I expect to see a lot of deep thoughts. I also expect to see masks of all different sorts. Most Greek Theatres involve a dramatic plot, so I assume they'll be in there. Also, the orchestra will be playing. I'd also like to see some of the characters dancing. Finally, i think that their costumes will be over the top and very dramatic.

  13. I expect to see a mask and all men role playing. The Greeks thought it was undignified for women to appear onstage. Actors might play more then one role.

  15. I think Oedipus will feature one sole actor. I expect the orchestra to be smaller because of this. Based on what I've heard about the story, some sort of large tragedy will happen. it will be a sad, moving story. I look forward to reading this drama.

  20. I think there will be a moral at the end of this story. There is already different lessons to learn from and its only the beginning. I also think there will be many smaller messages throughout this play. With theses smaller messages, it will be easier to get the meaning of the morals. There are many different parts to greek literature, but these in particular are something this play really shows.
