Response #3 - Greek Tragedy

Greek tragedy was another favorite of mine because of the way it was spoken. Greek tragedy was performed live and for me that was easier for me to understand and picture the main theme of the play. I took a sense of understanding and concentration from Greek tragedy, meaning I enjoyed having the play acted out in front of me giving me the imagery I needed to understand the true meaning of the play. Emotions were expressed easier and gave their audience a feel at which they were in the play with them. Oedipus the King was a great Greek tragedy that by using the characters own emotions and acting helped bring readers into the story and back into a time where there was an ruler that everyone either loved or hated.
